Seven marks of faithful Christian men — pulse check, Discuss, and info.
Seven marks of faithful Christian men.
The Standard is the framework under the app. The seven marks are a practical way to look at everyday obedience. They are not a scorecard for earning God’s favor, and they are not the whole of Scripture.
Open the info control on Take Action or Discuss for the full introduction, then The Seven with a short explanation and verse for each mark.

| Walking by the Spirit | A Spirit-filled life is action. Fruit looks like love, discipline, peace, endurance, and integrity. Galatians 5:16 (ESV) |
| Fighting Against Sin | Every day is a battlefield. He resists lust, selfishness, and compromise with purpose and self-control. Titus 2:12 (ESV) |
| Serving Others | He does not live for comfort or recognition. Like Jesus, he meets needs — especially when no one is watching. Mark 10:45 (ESV) |
| Loving with Honor | He treats women with purity and honor. If God has entrusted him with a wife, she is his first earthly ministry. Ephesians 5:25 (ESV) |
| Sharing the Gospel | He does not keep silent about Jesus. He is sent into conversations that carry eternal weight. Mark 16:15 (ESV) |
