the moment of truth.

so i watched the moment of truth while i was home for spring break. its crazy!!!!
the game show seems simple enough- the contestant is asked 50 questions ahead of time while hooked up to a lie detector test.

if they answer the questions 100% truthfully they win money. but one lie and the contestant loose everything.
the questions start out funny, "have you ever lied on you income taxes?" but they get way more personal.

watching the show just makes me realized how screwed up humans are.

so this girl admits to cheating on her husband and wins $100,000. then she is given the chance to double her money by answering three more questions.
they ask "do you think you are a good person"
she says "yes"
and her answer is deemed false.

so she cheated on her husband which is horrible.
but i almost think it is worse that she still thinks she is a good person. i think this is one reason its so hard to reach people in our culture. it's hard to get people to understand that they are sinners. everything is so relative. and to me relative truth makes no sense. i mean truth is truth right? i just cant wrap my head around it.

and then sometimes i forget what a crappy person i am. i do not deserve grace, none of us do.
but i do know if i ever went on that show i would be alright with saying i am not a good person. because im not. im a sinner. and i screw up all the time. but the awesome thing is that is doesn't matter. because i have grace.

here is that hour long episode in about three minutes.
