I have some notes as a rough draft for a sermon on that somewhere on my desk at home. It's probably covered up but near another rough draft of a message on "The Fifth Gospel" (Isaiah's witness to the story of Jesus Christ).

With all due respect, I think your stumbling over semantics here. Frankly, you are the sum of what you do. If you lie all the time, you are a liar. If you sing all the time, then you are a singer. And if you are one that every aspect of your life is witnessing (whether directly or indirectly) the goodness of Christ, then you are a witness.
