ONLINE COMPREHENSIVE TEST TILL MIDNIGHT
BSM Online students took their online year end comprehensive test last March 25, 2022. The test was made available online from 7 pm until midnight. Academic Dean Rev. Zeny Calusay asked them to send in their photos while taking the test. In BSM, students regularly say: “We love tests”|
MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES
Why this course?
While preaching and teaching are the primary spiritual responsibilities of the pastor, there is another side of pastoral leadership that must not be overlooked or underemphasized- the business and management side. Pastors are not managers in a corporate-business-world-publicly-traded-company sort-of-way. But pastors are shepherds. And shepherds manage sheep. The vast majority of pastoral roles include management. Even at the most basic level, churches require management. Who pays the bills? When does the meeting start? Who is responsible for the different functions? Who keeps the records? What is our policy? These are just a few basic managerial questions.
BSM Online is privileged to have a guest teacher with a wide managerial experience. We welcome Mr. Ronald Amigo.

NO OTHER GOSPEL
We are tasked to preach the gospel. It is very important that we preach the true gospel.
Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
Paul warned about the danger of preaching a gospel other than the one they, the apostles preached Galatians 1:6-9 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one, we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! 9As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!
This course firstly will lead students to look closely into key scriptures that teach the content of the true gospel centered on the Lord Jesus. Secondly, lead them to carefully serious efforts of the New Testament Church to preserve the true gospel, Consequent to this is a study of the arguments Paul presented in his letter to the Galatians in defense of the gospel he preached.
DISCIPLING CHILDREN
“Discipleship is also for children” is the next focus of the BSM Online course that starts this week. Ministry to children in local churches is not baby sitting so the parents can attend church services undisturbed. It should be another ministry to be labeled “HANDLE WITH CARE”. It should be done as intentional and systematic as how we do it with adults so that children will know Jesus as Lord and Savior and are guided to grow as His true disciples.
