Consider this:
Trust - like a vehicle - is not an aggregate

missing can compromise everything,
regardless of other strengths.

Regrets of a Failed Walking Witness
Mike Sharrow, C12 Group Managing Chair, Central Texas
31. We witness 24/7 whether we choose to call it that or not.
Everything we say or do speaks loudly to those who are
always watching us. They learn what we hold as real and
important.
The question isn’t will we witness - it is
witness to what?
We make this choice based upon what we really believe.
If we don’t tell others about Christ, it’s because we really
don’t believe that it’s important…at least not as important
as whatever else we choose to talk about to them instead!
