The Blessings of Simply Following the Bible by Mike Sharman

In this insightful interview, Doug Apple talks with Mike Sharman, General Counsel for Share HealthCare, discussing the practical morality of the Bible. They explore the idea that the Word of God is not just a book of stories, but a blueprint for living. When we deviate from that blueprint — putting secondary things like money, pride, or health before our devotion to God — the structure of our lives begins to crumble. The conversation covers several key pillars of a biblically centered life: -- The Blueprint Concept: Why we should want to be "legalistic" about God’s Word in the same way we want a builder to be legalistic about the blueprints for our dream home. -- First Things First: A look at C.S. Lewis’s principle of priority — when we put God first, the secondary blessings of life are added to us. -- The Example of Leaders: How figures like Teddy Roosevelt found soul-rest by preaching and practicing the "practical morality" of the Bible during times of national and personal crisis. -- The Word as a Sword: Understanding that the Bible is a double-edged sword designed to protect us and cut away the influence of the enemy. -- Practical Community: How Share HealthCare allows Christians to live out the "one another" verses of the Bible by literally bearing each other's medical burdens. -- Simple Discipline: A practical 15-to-20-minute daily reading plan to help you get the entire Bible into your heart every year.
