The Playbook HR2 10.8.25: "College Football Week Seven Contending Questions" by Fanrun Radio

Mary welcomes back Mike Gendron for a timely conversation about compromising the gospel and who is doing what to bring in a so-called unity that could deceive on a broad scale. Who are these, and what is their agenda? We specifically look at an event this week called "Communion America", organized by the NAR and designed to "host God" and "bring down the blood of Jesus" to "heal our land". A mile long communion table is the culmination of their vision for the "church of America". And what church would that be exactly? We show how this is more of a Catholic event than anything, but will the church recognize the wolves? We also discuss that ecumenical agenda that has been building and growing for decades. What is it about the political/religious meld that has many of us on high alert? The perilous slope of a compromised gospel ends with a gospel that cannot save, something the devil is fully aware of. A fascinating hour with a bold apologist. 20% DISCOUNT - Book Link: https://www.proclaimingthegospel.org/page/store#!/Contending-for-the-Gospel/p/141870007   Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Monday morning, the 6th of October, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to the Gospel of John 8:59:”Then they took up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple,…” Folks, I want to speak to you today about contending with God. Do not fight with God. Contend means “put forward a view in an argument.”Many of us, I'm including myself, when things don't go well, we blame God. “Lord, where were You? Lord, You promised that You'd never leave me nor forsake me. Lord, why is this thing happening? Why am I faced with a divorce?” But if we are honest with ourselves, we know that we haven't been doing things according to what God, through Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit, has told us to do. Stop having an affair with that woman and I'm talking about having an affair on the internet. Yes! I'm talking about making those phone calls to that girl. She's not your wife, she'll never be your wife and your own wife finds out about it. Things go wrong and you say, ”God, why have You done this to me?” God hasn't done that to You, You've done it to yourself.Pay your income tax. Don't owe people money. “Well, I'm going down the tube now, I can't pay my debt.” But you shouldn't have bought that motor car, you know that because you didn't have enough money. We've got to stop blaming God when things don't go well in our own lives. To contend with God is as ludicrous as an ant trying to argue with a bull elephant. You're laughing, I'm not laughing. You know a bull elephant stands ten feet tall. It weighs up to ten tons. It lives to sixty years old. Don't contend with a bull elephant when you are a mere ant!You know that farmer, Job? Job 38:3-4. The Lord says to Job when he was complaining. Maybe like you and me: ”Now prepare yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer Me. Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?” It's ridiculous. How can we even question God?I want to say to you today and it's a serious message, stop playing the fool. Start getting serious with the Lord, start obeying His commandments and your life will go a lot easier. Stop contending with God! You and I are not in a position to start thumping the table. I've heard people say to me, ”When I get to Heaven one day, there's a few questions I need to ask God.” Oh, my friend, you've got no idea about what you're talking about. When you get to Heaven, you will not say one word when you see the glory of God. You will just worship Him!Have a good day today and remember, don't contend with God,Goodbye.

Personal Revival, Nation Awakening & Generational ReformationWe are in an urgent "wake up call' and a "stand at attention" moment. Everything is shifting and rapidly changing. In the midst of tragedy, the Holy Spirit is sweeping this nation and drawing all to JESUS—and we rejoice. Awakening is bursting. As millions are grieving, processing, and mourning the unfathomable loss of Charlie Kirk's life, something is terribly wrong and perplexing—there are silent pulpits of cowardice and neutrality. The silent pulpits are showing their true colors of compromise and conformity.

Mike Gendron is founder and director of Proclaiming the Gospel Ministry. Mike was a devout Roman Catholic for over 3 decades and was taught to rely upon the authority of the church above all else. Mike searched the Scriptures and was amazed to find that what he read in Scripture contradicted the teaching and tradition of the church he had been a part of for so long. He trusted Jesus as his Savior and now the Bible has become his sole authority in all matters of faith. Mike is the author of the books, Preparing for Eternity and Contending for the Gospel and has produced numerous videos with warnings concerning false teachings vs. the truth of the Scriptures. Recently, Pope Leo XIV presided over his first saint-making ceremony at St. Peter's Square. At this ceremony he declared a British born, Italian teenager, Carlo Acutis, who died in 2006, to be the first millennial saint. As this broadcast explains, in order to become a saint according to Catholic teaching, a person has to have lived an exemplary life, die, then have 2 miracles attributed to them. After the first miracle the individual is beautified, with the second miracle qualifying the individual to be canonized. On the other hand, how does a person become a saint according to the Bible? Is the Catholic Church truly honoring God in this regard? Is it possible that this is just a marketing ploy to make the Catholic Church more relevant to youth? Also, new images are coming out of Mary over the Mercy Seat between the cherubim on the Ark of the Covenant. What's the background on this and is this just another example of the worship of Mary replacing the worship of Jesus?

Personal Revival, Nation Awakening & Generational ReformationThe Bible says that sound judgment and discretion will preserve and keep you (Proverbs 3:21). We are in a time when nonsensical madness is everywhere. Our society requires a course correction with sound intelligent judgment and a return to sanity. This generation desperately needs the clarity of the Word of God and a return to common sense. Our fervent prayer over America is for an awakened conscience—a sound moral mind with ethical clarity.
