God is our source of authority and has answered these worldview questions in His inerrant and sufficient Word, the Bible.

Mid-America President Dr. Michael Spradlin was recently interviewed by Byron Tyler on Mid-South View Point, a Christian talk radio show produced in Memphis by Bott Radio Network.
