#ourCOG Daily Brief [September 26, 2026]

Good evening, and welcome to #ourCOG Daily Brief for September 26, 2026.

Tonight in U.S. news, a new presidential Military Spouse Commission is addressing support for service-member families, while the controversial mistrial of Massachusetts mother Lindsay Clancy has cast a spotlight on juror independence versus misconduct. Former President Donald Trump’s muscular approach to power, from the Iran war to the economy, faces voter dissatisfaction in polls. Cities are also grappling with the integration of high-speed e-bikes into traffic grids, and gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is navigating the MAGA movement’s evolving direction and how he fits in. Globally, small island nations continue to act as the warming world’s conscience, offering moral advice on climate change at the U.N. General Assembly. The U.S. push for a Ukraine peace deal faces resistance from Russia’s “my way or the highway” negotiation tactics, and an emboldened Iran is seeking to end the war on its terms by forcing out U.S. bases, lifting sanctions, and ending a U.S. naval blockade.

Looking at our video section, you can catch up on “Praise and Worship – September 20, 2026,” be inspired by “God Can Reverse It!” with Jentezen Franklin, and delve into “One Minute Before Death – Which Angel Will You See?” by Perry Stone.

From the FaithNews RSS feed, recent updates include the dedication of a renovated cottage at Smoky Mountain Children’s Home, groups hosting a 9/11 Memorial Climb, news of over 500 Jordanians coming to Christ at a recent event, and the Church of God membership now topping 10 Million worldwide.

In prophecy news, the U.S. Supreme Court delivered a significant win to President Trump today on election integrity, allowing the restoration of an expanded version of DHS’s SAVE program. Earlier this week, headlines also focused on the Church of England reportedly joining forces with Islam in an “end-of-days alliance against Israel,” a crashed drone near a Bundeswehr air base in Germany found with explosives matching GRU attack devices, and President Trump’s U.N. speech where he threatened to “annihilate” Iran.

And finally, in Jewish history, looking back at September 26th, we remember the coronation of King William Rufus in 1087, who prevented massacres of Jews during his reign before his mysterious death. This day also marks Saladin’s attack on Jerusalem in 1187, Abraham ben Samuel Abulafia’s release from imprisonment in Rome in 1280 after attempting to convert Pope Nicholas III, and Pope Clement VI issuing a Bull in 1348 contradicting libel against Jewish communities.
