For the man of God the answer can be found in asking this question - what is GOD looking for in my life? Pastor Mark shares 3 key character traits of some of the men listed in the "Hall of Faith" in Hebrews chapter 11.

Keys to Developing your Core (UNCOMMON, Tony Dungy)

a. Remember that what you do when no one is watching
    matters.
b. That the means matters as much as the end, if not more.
c. Hang in there. Character is revealed through adversity.
d. Often we grow as much through the little things as we do
     through the big ones.
e. Truth is critical. Being truthful is too.
f. Don’t rationalize your way around honesty.
g. Don’t blow your own horn.
h. Don’t be falsely modest; you have amazing gifts. Just
    recognize that others do too.
i. You are important but not indispensable. The same goes
   for others. See yourself as a significant part of the
   process.
j. Be careful what you do with your resources, gifts, time
   and talents. You have been entrusted with them.
k. Some of the most rewarding times in life are when you
    have to stand alone, even if you are uncomfortable doing
    so.
l. Life is hard. Courage is essential.
m. Never give up.

3.  MEN OF REPENTANCE
Acts 9:18
