Examining the history of nomadic pastoralism across Asia—from the Caucasus and Central Asian steppes to ancient Mesopotamia—reveals a consistent pattern: settled elites have repeatedly waged war against pastoral peoples. Both the Bible and the Qur'an emerged from nomadic pastoral societies, yet these same texts were later weaponized by sedentary civilizations against the very peoples once nurtured by them. We are witnessing this tragic pattern unfold again in real time—perhaps in its most brutal form yet—with escalating consequences that now reach into the heart of the West, the heir of Greco-Roman hubris.Even in pre-biblical East Asian traditions, such as the Confucian Book of Odes, herdsmen arrive with their flocks to establish an unnamed prince—a figure who emerges not from the city but from the periphery to usher in an era of divine justice. This archetype, consolidated in the Bible and the Qur'an, becomes active in the world whenever and wherever the voice from the pasture rises against the corruption of the palace.This is the Voice of the Scriptural God—The Voice of the Shepherd.It will not be silenced.It cannot be bought.It does not serve a throne.It does not belong to anyone.It roams freely upon the earth,calling its flock from the outlands, out of the city to the wilderness.The Biblical Jesus is near, habibi—And it's time for the Lord to act.It's time for Ibrahim's Discords.سُبْحَانَ مَنْ جَعَلَ فِي الْحَمْدِ نُورًا(subḥāna man jaʿala fī al-ḥamdi nūran)“Glory to the one who placed light within praise.”This week, I discuss Luke 8:32-34.Photo by Cajeo Zhang on UnsplashShow notesἀγέλη (agelē) / ע־ד־ר (ʿayin–dalet–resh) / غ–د–ر (ghayn–dāl–rāʾ)In the Gospel of Matthew, we are warned that God will separate the sheep from the goats. Mishearing this, the rule-followers among us foolishly turn their gaze outward, seeking to teach others which rules to follow. In doing so, they become goat-finders and goat-fixers—lions and bears who come not to protect the flock but to steal sheep from it.But in Luke's application of ע־ד־ר (ʿayin–dalet–resh) from the Song of Songs, this dichotomy is flipped on its head. When the mashal unfolds at the Decapolis in Luke, the Song's poetic use of ἀγέλη (agelē)—interchanging goats and sheep—reveals the Bible's mockery of human rule-followers. The constant switch between goats and sheep in the Song of Songs reflects a deliberate poetic symmetry: the goats evoke movement and allure (hair), while the sheep evoke purity and precision (teeth).This imagery, drawn from real pastoral life, is repurposed to undermine self-righteous Hellenistic legal constructs. There is no intent in the text to constrain the beloved or to define her by a boundary. Rather, it moves freely—dark and light, wild and ordered, descending and ascending—a complete pastoral image that cannot be systematized. The beloved is named not to be limited, but to be delighted in—not judged, but adored.David said to Saul, “Your servant was tending his father's flock [הָעֵדֶר (hā-ʿēder)], and when a lion or a bear came and took a sheep from the flock…” (1 Samuel 17:34)Know well the condition of your flocks [עֲדָרִים (ʿădārīm)], and pay attention to your herds; (Proverbs 27:23)Tell me, you whom my soul loves, where do you pasture your flock [עֵדֶר (ʿeder)], where do you have it lie down at noon? For why should I be like one who veils herself beside the flocks of your companions? (Song of Songs 1:7)Your hair is like a flock [כְּעֵדֶר (kə-ʿēder)] of goats, coming down from Mount Gilead. (Song of Songs 4:1)Your teeth are like a flock [כְּעֵדֶר (kə-ʿēder)] of newly shorn sheep, which have come up from their watering place… (Song of Songs 4:2)Your hair is like a flock [כְּעֵדֶר (kə-ʿēder)] of goats that have descended from Gilead. (Song of Songs 6:4)Your teeth are like a flock [כְּעֵדֶר (kə-ʿēder)] of ewes which have come up from their watering place… (Song of Songs 6:5)Still, even in the open pasture, there are rules of engagement. This is how one should hear the text—as a Bedouin.Surat Al-Anfāl (سورة الأنفال, The Spoils of War) addresses the terms of conflict and the proper conduct of the faithful toward their enemies. It contains the Qur'an's only occurrence of the Lukan-corresponding root غ–د–ر (ghayn–dāl–rāʾ)—a term that denotes treachery or betrayal. Even when nomadic clans behave treacherously, those who follow God are commanded to act transparently—even in the face of betrayal. The response to ghadr is not reciprocal deceit, but open disengagement.The verse also contains the word قَوْمٍ (qawm), meaning “those who stand or rise together as a group,” from the root ق–و–م (qāf–wāw–mīm). Its presence evokes the image of a herd rising for judgment—a disobedient gathering whose posture does not guarantee righteousness. Instead, it invokes divine judgment, alluding to the Day of the Lord. This imagery echoes the Gosp...
How did Mark's Gospel end in his original version? We don't know for sure, but this sermon explores those possible endings and what it means for our understanding of Mark's conclusion. But the most important thing is that Mark's Gospel was never designed to end the story. His story was designed to launch a final chapter which is told in the lives change by the Jesus story. So how does your life and your response to the good news of Jesus finish Mark's otherwise unfinished gospel?

Por Kennyo Ismail Estamos acompanhando o atual problema de relacionamento entre GOB-MG e GOB, problema este que se arrasta desde a época de Amintas e Eduardo Rezende. Este problema vem concomitante a outro, entre o GOB-BA (GOEB) e o GOB, que também vem sendo remoído desde junho de 2019. Ainda, tivemos o conturbado caso do GOSP, eclodido em setembro de 2018. Além de São Paulo, Minas Gerais e Bahia, que estão entre os maiores estados maçônicos em número de membros e lojas, acumula-se outros casos de conflitos e intervenções em Grandes Orientes Estaduais, como em Pernambuco, Ceará, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Sul, Goiás, etc. Todos esses casos têm gerado instabilidade, não apenas no seio do GOB, mas também no meio maçônico regular brasileiro, visto que, em alguns casos, as outras potências regulares locais, Grandes Lojas da CMSB e Grandes Orientes da COMAB, precisam se posicionar quanto a intervisitação, etc. E ao observarmos a história da Maçonaria brasileira, em especial do Grande Oriente do Brasil, vemos que não se trata apenas de casos recentes e isolados. O fato é que, desde que se implementou o atual sistema de Grandes Orientes Estaduais, o GOB enfrenta esse tipo de problema. Como exemplo, tem-se a manifestação em conjunto de seis Grandes Orientes Estaduais, em 1962, reivindicando um novo “pacto federativo”, em que se concederia soberania aos mesmos. Os desdobramentos dessa reivindicação, aliados a um processo eleitoral conturbado, levariam à cisão de 1973. E essa espécie de reclamação não ressurge periodicamente… é permanente. Só que nem sempre é alta o bastante para ser escutada. O fato é que o GOB é uma federação, mas adotou uma característica que não é inerente a uma federação maçônica, o que, aparentemente, tem gerado mais de meio século de conflitos internos, que vivem a abalar seu pacto federativo. Há algumas outras federações maçônicas mundo afora. Um exemplo clássico é a Grande Loja Unida da Inglaterra – GLUI. Ela possui uma série de Grandes Lojas Provinciais e Grandes Lojas Distritais, que devem obediência à GLUI. Sabe qual a diferença dessas Grandes Lojas Distritais e Provinciais para os Grandes Orientes Estaduais do GOB? Seus Grão-Mestres são nomeados, não eleitos. Uma Grande Loja Distrital nada mais é do que um Distrito ou Delegacia Maçônica, com uma espécie de Delegado nomeado para administrá-la. E, em verdade, um Grande Oriente Estadual do GOB não deixa de ser exatamente isso, pois não emite placets e cartas constitutivas, nem pode firmar tratados com outras potências, dentre outras limitações. Praticamente todos os conflitos entre os Grandes Orientes Estaduais e o GOB giram em torno do fato do GOB intervir em um Grão-Mestre Estadual que foi eleito pelo povo maçônico gobiano daquele Estado. Um Grão-Mestre Estadual do GOB fez campanha, rodou a jurisdição, visitou dezenas de lojas, tornou-se uma liderança e foi eleito e empossado no cargo. Quando ocorre uma intervenção, o próprio termo, “intervenção”, acentua a gravidade do que é feito, pois é uma violação, mesmo que legal, em uma organização. A vontade daquele povo maçônico, de certa forma, é atropelada. E é nessas horas de intervenção que aquelas dúvidas retomam “com plena força e vigor”: da razão dele ser um “Grão-Mestre” e não ter a autoridade que os Landmarks tradicionalmente adotados no Brasil concedem a um Grão-Mestre; da falta de autonomia, independência e soberania do Grande Oriente Estadual; da vontade de milhares de irmãos do povo maçônico local estar abaixo da vontade de uma única autoridade maçônica do Poder Central; etc. E então os desejos separatistas de alguns saem das sombras para sussurrar aos ouvidos daqueles mais e menos revoltosos. Entretanto, todo esse processo conturbado de intervenção, cisão, judicialização, é fruto do modelo organizacional adotado e, simplesmente, não precisaria acontecer se fosse adotado outro modelo. Um CNPJ Filial não se desliga da Matriz. E um Grão-Mestre Estadual nomeado não faz campanha, não é necessariamente uma liderança, não quer ter seus poderes igualados aos dos outros Grão-Mestres do Estado, não aspira soberania, e não sofre uma traumática intervenção. No máximo, uma simples exoneração. Quer ser, de fato, uma federação? A sugestão é que crie 27 CNPJs de Filial para os Grandes Orientes Estaduais e nomeie seus Grão-Mestres Estaduais. Poderão ser chamados de Delegados Regionais, se preferir. Caso contrário, outra opção é se tornar uma confederação e dar soberania a eles, perdendo assim o poder de intervenção. Mas enquanto esse modelo híbrido jabuticabesco estiver em vigor, a previsão é de que o atual pacto federativo gobiano continuará a ser ferido, prejudicando lojas e irmãos, e causando instabilidade nas relações. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/malhete-podcast/message

If a road was ending would you rather have it clearly marked with lots of warning or would you rather it not be marked and crash your car? That's the question that Pastor Chris Kipp leads with as he teaches a message entitled "The Coming Kingdom" from Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43. In this parable about the kingdom, Jesus' teaching grounds us in reality, issues a real warning and yet gives us real hope. The question is: do you really believe what Jesus says about the coming kingdom? Renaissance Church - Richmond, Texas ren-church.org #alloflifealltheearth

GospelThe Lord said:“Woe to you Pharisees!You pay tithes of mint and of rue and of every garden herb,but you pay no attention to judgment and to love for God.These you should have done, without overlooking the others.Woe to you Pharisees!You love the seat of honor in synagoguesand greetings in marketplaces. Woe to you!You are like unseen graves over which people unknowingly walk.”Then one of the scholars of the law said to him in reply,“Teacher, by saying this you are insulting us too.”And he said, “Woe also to you scholars of the law!You impose on people burdens hard to carry,but you yourselves do not lift one finger to touch them.” (Lk 11:42-46)
What is the gospel? Rightly, many people point to the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus--through which we are forgiven of sin, absolved of guilt, counted righteous, and promised to be raised from the dead. Praise God for that! But, there are parts of the gospel that tend to be left out or assumed. Jesus intercedes and advocates for us at the right hand of God. He has given us his Spirit. He reigns from the throne of God. And he is coming back for us. All of these things matter for our assurance and peace! Semper Reformanda: The guys talk pointedly about the return of Christ.

Surrounded by sinners, but not participating in their sin. Levi is our example. As He passed by, He saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, “Follow Me.” So he arose and followed Him. Now it happened, as He was dining in Levi’s house, that many tax collectors and sinners also sat together with Jesus and His disciples; for there were many, and they followed Him.A Righteous Man Among Many Sinners Mark 2:14-15
