What in the Worldchanger is Going On?

by Dr. D.L. Moody

If you have been reading much about Arlington Baptist University over the past year or so, you have probably seen the word Worldchanger repeatedly.  I am aware that when you type this word into a document on your computer, a red underline quickly appears as a courtesy of your spell-check.  Though two words are generally used, we decided to coin a new, single word to describe the type of individual ABU seeks to turn out…a Worldchanger!

We are committed to make this more than a mere “brand ...

     Sir Isaac Newton was once quoted as saying, “If I have seen further than others, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” This quote has always meant a great deal to me, because it reminds me that anything I accomplish in life is only by the grace of God and the impact that others have had in my life.

     When I think of the various experiences and factors that have contributed to making me who I am today, the Biblical Counseling degree I gained from Arlington Baptist University ranks high on that list. I came into the degree ...

On January 27, 2018, a group of students and faculty will be heading back to Chicago, Illinois to work for a week at the Roseland Community Good News Daycare in south Chicago.

It will be a busy week, a tiring week, but a week that will impact ...

Me: “I’m not good enough.”

God: “No you are not ...
