How many faces do you have?

For the Colson Center, I'm John Stone Street with a point.

Atheist comedian Stephen Fry once said, quite ironically, that you are who you are when nobody's watching.

When social restraints are removed, when the cameras aren't rolling, what sort of person are you?

What sort of choices do you make? All of us, especially men, need to ask these questions of ourselves in the wake of the

daily flurry of scandals from Hollywood and Washington. This isn't a problem out there in

someone else's sound studio office or home. It's a problem in here, the depths of the sinful

human heart. Is the person we portray to others the same person we are when we're by ourselves,

or more importantly, when we believe there'll be no consequences for our actions. This is sometimes called living on your face. In other

words, making sure that what you present in public is the character you demonstrate in private.

Only as Christians, we know that there's nowhere we can flee from the presence of God,

who sees all and who's always with us, and who promises that our sins will find

us out. With today's point, I'm John Stone Street.
