All #ourCOG News 5.0
Good evening, and welcome to #ourCOG Daily Brief for September 10, 2025.
Today’s news reveals a complex picture of faith and society. In the U.S., a former Wall Street executive launched Faithly, a LinkedIn-style app for Christians in ministry. Simultaneously, a study highlights the concerning trend of churches downplaying sin, while another shows Millennials and Gen Z surpassing older generations in church attendance. A Portland pastor reports a significant spiritual awakening in his city, and we reflect on the legacies of past Christian leaders. Globally, disturbing reports emerge from India and Nigeria, where Christians face persecution and violence. In Pakistan, Christians recently concluded a 17-day protest against injustice.
Today’s featured videos offer spiritual insights and encouragement: “Why Your Church Might Be Spiritually Malnourished,” “Convocation | David Cooper,” and “God’s Already Given You the Victory” provide thought-provoking content.
Our FaithNews RSS feed highlights recent events including a Church of God chaplain’s response to a Fort Stewart shooting, the release of “A Slave No More,” the White House’s unveiling of the America Prays initiative, and the global reach of the “Between Sundays” podcast.
In prophecy news, recent reports indicate escalating tensions in the Middle East with Israel striking Hamas leadership in Doha. Other headlines detail concerns about Britain’s justice system, Florida’s move to end childhood vaccine mandates, and a large-scale immigration raid in Georgia.
Finally, in Jewish history, today marks the anniversary of the death of Rabbi Akiva, a remarkable figure who rose from humble beginnings to become a leading Talmudic sage. His life and execution at the hands of the Roman authorities serve as a poignant reminder of faith’s enduring power even in the face of persecution.
