God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
When I speak of total depravity I do not mean that all men are as depraved as they possibly can be, nor that the depravity of their heart will always manifest itself equally in all respects at all times. Total depravity simply means that the whole of the individual, his heart, soul, spirit, and will, is affected by and enslaved to sin, thereby rendering him odious in the sight of God. What this means in terms of the gospel of Jesus Christ is that if left to himself a person will invariably, inevitably, and without pause reject the truth. Total depravity means that no matter how “civil” or “compassionate” or “industrious” or “law-abiding” he might otherwise be in his dealings with other people, he is utterly and willfully indisposed to all that Christ is and says. Merely preaching to that person will profit nothing.
If ever you wish to see how great and horrid and evil sin is, measure it in your thoughts, either by the infinite holiness and excellency of God, who is wronged by it; or by the infinite sufferings of Christ, who died to satisfy for it; and then you will have deeper apprehensions of its enormity.

Soak first four ingredients together for at least 1 hour. Mix the flour in
well, and put into a greased lined loaf tin and bake for approximately 1
hour at 375F.
Notes: The cake is delicious, and served in slices with a little margarine
on. If you wrap it in foil and keep for a few days (if it lasts that long)
the flavour gets even better. The all-bran is available in the UK as
Kellogg's AllBran. It's sort of little sticks of high-fibre bran stuff. If
you can't get it in the US, I don't know what the equivalent is (not having
been to the US myself).
