"Often when I have debated the "total depravity of mankind" I have been able to stump the other debater simply by observing that in seeing my own life, I know that left to my own devices I would make a royal mess of everything around me.
It is out of this reality that I approach Good Friday this year. Perhaps more in touch with my fragile mortality, perhaps more in touch with my fragile morality, or perhaps simply being more aware than ever before that God's work in me has such a long way to go to be fully realized.
Yet this is the message of Good Friday for all of us."
