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:  working the daycare with the children, ministering to students in a local public school, serving breakfast with a homeless ministry, delivering gift bags to new moms in the hospital, helping Ms. Pearl with projects at her daycare, and being able to share Christ to so many people.

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

“Go on an Adventure with God!” These were the words I spoke with conviction and fervor during my graduation speech from Arlington Baptist. As I reflect over my life before, during, and after attending college, I realize that I had been going on adventures with God before even giving the speech.  

You see, high school was hard. Even harder, was knowing that the Lord had called me to follow Him on to the mission field, yet I continually doubted myself. My conversations with God would go something like this:

Me: “I’m not good enough.”

God: “No you are not ...

About ten years ago, I began a journey that would take me from where I thought I was going to where God would send me. I have to admit that not all of the journey seemed to make sense, nor were some of the events along the way all that enjoyable. When I look back and reflect, it would appear that everything (whether it seemed good or bad) was God’s way of preparing me for what is to come. During the process, I made some great friends that God used to influence my life. And, I lost a ...
