Moment of Truth 2

I watched the season finale of Moment of Truth. It is a game show where someone is asked personal questions and a lie detector determines whether they are being honest or not. It is a brutal show. If you have ever doubted that people are all sinners you need to watch a show. The idea is the more questions you answer the more money you can win but if you ever lie then you lose everything. I watched a woman admit first that she had stolen money. The her ex-boyfriend showed up to ask her if she would be willing to leave her husband if he wanted her back. She hesitated long enough for everyone to know the answer but then her sister used the one and only escape bell. That meant she could skip that question and move to the next. The next question was asked by her ex-boyfriend again. "Do you think you really should be married to me"? She answered "yes". After each answer there is a long pause and then a computer generated voice says,"That answer is...true (or false as the case may be). Each question is designed to cause greater discomfort and greater damage to everyone. The next question was,"Have you ever had sex with someone other than your husband since you have been married"? The answer was "yes". "That answer is...true". The final question for 200k (and remember every question is all or nothing) seemed pretty easy comparatively. "Are you a good person"? This woman has already said she was a thief and an adulterer. She has thrown her marriage away on national television. She says,"yes". "That answer is...FALSE". She lost everything. The audience got to see what is true for all of us. We can admit all kinds of things but the hardest thing to really be honest about is ourselves. It was impossible to admit to herself that she was not a good person. It reminded me how desperate I am for the gospel to go deep. I want to always know that if I sat in that chair and the questioners really couldn't figure out where my deepest dirt was and all they could find was that I was a preacher, happily married, and loved reading the Bible and then they asked the question,"Are you a good person"? My answer should be immediate...absolutely not. In my Moment of Truth there are two things I know, I am a great sinner and Jesus is a great Savior.
