Romans 3:10-12
The interest of the sinner is not towards God.
In verse 12, "turned aside" often indicates deliberate avoidance.
Mankind is totally depraved. This does not mean that people are incapable of doing something good. It means that they are incapable of keeping God's standard and saving themselves.
If a person shows any indication towards God, it is the "miracle of desire" at work. On our own, we do not pursue God unless He stirs us first.
