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.
The root of our sinfulness is the desire for our own happiness apart from God and apart from the happiness of others in God. All sin comes from a desire to be happy cut off from the glory of God and cut off from the good of others.
Cover shiitake mushrooms with hot water and soak for 20 minutes. Coarsely
chop the vegetables. In a soup pot, heat oil for a moment. Add the
vegetables and the rest of the ingredients except the mushrooms, tamari and
water. Stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the remaining 3 ingredients. Bring
to a boil, lower heat and simmer, covered for about an hour. Strain and
cool to room temperature. Any stock not being used within 2 or 3 days,
freeze.
