Faith - Not a cat and mouse game

Faith.. Is not a cat-and-mouse game, when the cat is around, the mouse is good, but when the cat is not around, the mouse is naughty. Faith is about being good, even when authority is not around to watch.

Authority is present to ensure that we are under control, but we need to be accountable to authority even when they are not around, we need to be well-behaved when authority isn't around to watch over us.

What happens if they are not around to limit us? We grow out of control and might fall into sin. That's what happens when the cat is not around.

Why can't we all be well-behaved mice? *sigh*
