Moody Bible Institute

As a Moody Alumni I'm always interested in what's going on with the school. Recently the grad school changed it's name. Since I've been thinking of returning to Seminary lately I read this at first wondering what a name change might mean. For all of the difference it makes it only means reprinting the stationary. Apparently nothing else is changing, just the name.

Good.

Effective [August 10, 2009] today, the graduate school of Moody Bible Institute has changed its name to Moody Theological Seminary and Graduate School. This name change more accurately reflects the breadth of degrees and training offered through the graduate program.

This year's Pastor's Conference at Moody Bible institute was fairly overwhelming, spiritually and emotionally. The whole spectrum of teaching was excellent and with only one particular exception none of them were a waste of my time.

When I went, I had no idea I was as worn out as I apparently was but the worship and prayer time of four solid days spanning 7:00AM to 9:00PM converged on my soul like a welcome respite. After a week on Spiritual R&R I'm ready to get back to work, and hopefully prepared to do so in a far more effective, Spirit led way.

My wife was laughing when I got home because I left with two bags, one for my clothes and one for my computer. I returned home with five and a box - as you may expect they contained a new threat to my already overflowing bookshelves. Among the several that I brought home there was a rather significant collection of free books. I don't have time to read all of them this week, but I'll post this here so you can see what's coming up for me.

I'm a great fan of the Moody Bible Institute Pastors' Conference.
So this morning when I found in my email a Buy one Get one offer for the upcoming Monday, May 18, 2009 - Thursday, May 21, 2009 conference I had to share it.
