INTRO>>Total Depravity is defined as this-the complete and full inability to find grace and favor with God outside of the grace exerted from God. Another thing is man's natural condition apart from any grace exerted by God to restrain or transform man.
John Piper says it as this-The terrible condition of man's heart will never be recognized by people who assess it only in relation to other men. Romans 14:23 makes plain that depravity is our condition in relation to God primarily, and only secondarily in relation to man. Unless we start here we will never grasp the totality of our natural depravity.”

The depressing state is the reality-------------

The battle between life and death
Not tryting to sell my soul but
Rent due, and satan writing checks
Feel like Christ has left, me be
I cant see I cant breathe,
Like movin day Im boxed in,
Its like I cheated my job,
I left after I clocked in
Mind is rockin, like a pair of shoes Im socked in

Psalms 73-surely God was good to Israel, as for me being miserable
My foot almost slipped
Not only spiritual, but physical
Im thrown back like mitchell
And ness, feel like life a big mess
Im tryin not to stress
These trees ease the pain of
me being bound up in life chains
Feel like death got the reins

Even Rudolf left my sleighs
Sometimes I feel like offin my self
Taking this glock of the shelf
Just white clothin my self
Feel like God been good to everyone else
Everyone helpin each otha else
In the race of health wealth and happiness,
Like will smith
Im pursuit by myself
Trying to maintain
My mind, stay sain!
Being untamed in chains
Flesh wanting money, fame

Thought of the end of this world,
Passin through my crain-nium
eyes locked on what?
What am I seein?
The reality of the totality
Of the depressing state of depravity
Keep ya soul heavy like
Extra 1000 pounds of gravity

John piper says it’s the natural condition of man
Apart from grace exerted by God
To restrain or transform man-
In other words, our love for God is from God
Our love is in His hands
So then I start to think
The way we would be,
Outside of the graced exerted by HE
But im not talking about just you
Im talking about me

Its just so absurd, its sad
Like folk sayin Christ was a bad dad
Absurd like havin peace in bagdad
But then grace hits me, and I feel…
how can I not stand strong
when on Christs rock I'm standin,
psalms 1 tree trunks, in the streetwalks I'm planted,
devil you can't break Him-wit my fists up I'm chantin
-rantin, and ravin-Christ love I'm cravin-
in His imago dei-im raised in,
like bad teeth im caved in, \
mind racin, life im facin…slowly,
like a horror movie im chasin-that prize,
like T im wize-about
my stupidity & the validity of the sin in me-
Like meth, its crystal, clear to see
Christ showed too much grace, must I repeat
Christ showed too much grace,

The pressure wont let me be
Cuz now after the realization of the total separation
If hells gates im chasin,
If the devil prada, is what im laced in
If my walk wobly, like
When kids was harlem shakin
The distance from Christ
Nothing that can replace it
Weather man down there said
Extream heat is what you facin
For eternity, the urgency, of this note
Aint for you to worry bout burnin see,
It’s the total, and complete separation
From the grace that’s given to you
So maternity, of ya life, to be reborn in Christ
No pun to John Legend, but Christ gave you the green light
After the red blood came down, passed the spikes
I just think of the stripes, because by them were healed
Under the umbrella of grace, his bloods my shield

So don’t worry bout the heat
Don’t worry bout the torture
That will continue to repeat
But worry bout you never bowing down to Christ’s feet

Well-today way the day-first day of actual RA work!!!! So amazing and after a long week of tedious training, everything today went into action! It has been amazing-all of the new students coming in-freshman and transfer students-and just welcoming them as well as helping them move in! Ok, so, if you look at the date and then look at the weather, you can see that it was 96 degrees and humid like a rain forest! So many people decided to move in today-whew! I must say, it was truly amazing, but it was the instant sweat kind of day! You step outside and just sweat-no moving necessary, all you had to do was breathe! After everything was said and done, it was truly an honor and a blessing to serve in that magnitude-to see parents that spent the entire day trying to pack up the car with their kids things, and to watch the whole res life team tackle it, was a blessing to me as well as them-i am looking forward to an amazing year as I intentionally build community and team building! Let's do it-wing 3!!!!!! We are in for a ride!!!!
Over and out
