About this listen
I remember how shocked I was when I first heard the story of the Canaanite woman in the Bible with a demon possessed daughter, and how she came to Jesus, heart in hand, but was initially rejected. See, there’s a warped view of our Lord that’s circulating around the world, one where no punitive measures or harshness is ever noticed as being tied to him - harsh according to most contemporary customs of the world, of course. If looked at wrongly, one might not understand why Jesus had to whip the money peddlers that hovered around the house of God, a sacred place of worship. As such, as a youth, first hearing how Jesus rebuked this Canaanite mother, who’d only sought what was best for her daughter, willing to leave no stone unturned, I was disheartened to read the Lord telling this poor Canaanite woman that he “was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel”. The woman, kneeling, begged him, “Lord, help me!”
In today’s world, though, most people might label Jesus a racist, without understanding God’s plan of salvation, and how the Jews needed to reject their Messiah in order to have salvation turn towards the nations. Still more, at the time, as a toddler, nothing shocked me more than our Lord’s next words to this already downtrodden woman. Jesus answered and said to her, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.” All I could think was, He just called her a dog, yet she did nothing more than beg for his mercy the same way that most Israelites did. Be honest with yourself, what would you have done were you to get such a response? After all, I’m not quite sure how much revelation this woman had that the man that she spoke to was God that she might and could bear any sort of insults.
What I am sure of is that this Canaanite mother had crazy amounts of faith and love. Faith that this man who’d healed many an infirmed person would do likewise for her daughter, and immense love for her daughter, enough to support making the trek to the Lord in the first place. Rather than doubt, the mother’s response was instead beautiful, humbling, and eye-opening, even for our Lord, as it embodied a faith so robust as to emotively move God to act on her behalf. She countered Jesus’ argument about it not being right to take the children’s bread and give to the dogs by pointing out that “Yes it is, Lord. Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”
Wow.... “Woman,” began The Son of Man, “you have great faith! Your request is granted.” And, indeed, as the scriptures go on to detail, the woman’s daughter was healed, that very moment.

It used to be that Christians conceived of the world as a battleground. They believed in sin and the devil and hell as constituting one force and in God and righteousness and heaven constituting the other. How different it is today. People think of the world not as a battleground but as a playground. In This World: Playground or Battleground?, Tozer calls us to see the real world of the spiritual realm that lies beyond the physical that so ensnares us. The audio is short and to the point, abrupt but full of vigor, profound, and downright relevant today.

Many people believe in God and believe that God is everywhere, but they have yet to experience his presence. What did it mean for Moses to encounter God at the burning bush? How did it change his life and his perception of God? What is keeping you from experiencing his presence in your life? It was in that burning bush experience that Moses began to understand and appreciate the sacredness of worship. Through this book, Tozer teaches how proper worship has to be equal to the one we are worshiping, so if we are worshiping God, we must do it on his terms.
