Total Depravity in the News

I often tell others that the best way to teach about Total Depravity is to read or watch the news. It is impossible to go away from the average news cast thinking that people are morally good. A 27 year old man was shot and killed in an apparent act of road rage. He was taking his 10 month old daughter out of her carseat when he was gunned down. Thankfully the child was unharmed, physically... And then CNN reports a deathly discovery of a few hundred bodies of babies stored in jars in a hospital in Paris. France has a law that a child's body must be cremated within 10 days after the child's death. Dr. Pierre-Marie Cousin, president of the union of gynecologists and obstetricians, said, "The fact that the burial or cremation of these stillborn babies wasn't carried out is perhaps negligence, but not a moral problem." Not a moral problem!!! What!?! Our world is deathly sick and desperately in need of THE Savior.
