The goal of the School of Biblical Studies (sbs) is to equip individuals with the tools and skills needed for effective Bible study, and then through a disciplined framework give the students the opportunity to apply these skills to every book of the Bible. This helps them understand God's Word as a whole and builds a foundation for a lifetime of Bible study which results in a more effective Christian ministry. The School of Biblical Studies Distance Learning Course (sbsdlc) makes this available to those who cannot take the time out to attend the residential course. The course provides an opportunity to learn beyond the classroom where life's experiences strengthen the educational process. The course is learning in its simplest form - the Bible, a syllabus, 2 text books and a resource book, bringing a treasury of learning to your door. The student is linked with a distance learning tutor who will keep them accountable and motivated through frequent communication and encouragement.
**WE ARE NOW DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER THE MODULES ON CD ROM**

Battle for the marketplace
Ezekiel 28:18
The marketplace is a spiritual battleground. God intends it to serve the purposes of his kingdom to bless the nations. On the other side, Satan is competing to control it for his evil purposes. Through unrighteous trade he seeks to dominate not only individuals and businesses, but also politics, the media, education, and even churches and families.
One way Satan controls people is through their lust for money. When we think of greed, we may think of rich, miserly people or the directors of an exploitive, multinational corporation. However, greed can be as prevalent among the poor. Lust for possessions can also be found among the ones who have the least. In Asia, this lust for money leads parents to break their -infants’ legs so that they can use these children as beggars. In America, it drives inner-city kids to kill other youths just to get their expensive athletic shoes.
The best way to break this spirit of greed is by responding in the opposite spiritèthrough acts of generosity.
How can you respond in generosity against the spirit of greed?
Other reading: Prov. 15:27; Luke 12:15; Eph. 5:3; 2 Peter 2:14.
