By Selwyn Duke It’s becoming a new Christmastime tradition: Islamic jihadist attacks on non-Muslim celebrations. We all now know of Bondi Beach, Australia, after two jihadists murdered 15 Hanukkah celebration attendees there on Sunday. The perps, father-son duo Sajid Akram, 50, and Naveed Akram, 24, were reportedly inspired by the Islamic State. (Apparently, dad and…

By Selwyn Duke Pontius Pilate has a unique place in history; every even quasi-serious Christian knows his name. Pilate was, of course, the Roman governor who condemned Jesus to death despite acknowledging His innocence. It was easier, you see, and more expedient to publicly wash his hands and declare, “I am innocent of this man’s…

By Selwyn Duke “Skepticism has never lasted two generations,” said G.K. Chesterton in a 1931 debate with Scopes “Monkey Trial” lawyer Clarence Darrow. “The first generation laughs at the Bible,” goes a later elaboration on the idea. The “second questions the laughter; the third weeps because there is nothing left to laugh at.” And then,…

By Selwyn Duke Et tu, Mayberry? Just recently I took a couple of friends to visit old hinterland haunts in upstate N.Y., places I used to visit on vacation or when house sitting.

Chesterton in 1935. “In practice it means that hardly anybody is allowed to mention it.” This could come to mind hearing about yet another “separation of church and state” lawsuit. This time the issue involves Catholic…

He further asserted that believing in Creator-bestowed rights, as our Founders did, places you in league with Iran’s tyrannical mullahs. Perhaps just as outrageous, though, is that too many…

By Selwyn Duke We don’t know if they fancy they can walk on water. But almost half of all Americans, including a striking number of Christians, don’t believe they’re sinners. It’s a revelation that has implications not just for the church, but for civilization generally.

Image created using Grok AI. By Selwyn Duke It’s like 20 9/11s — or 50 October 7s. That’s approximately how many Christians have been murdered by Islamic jihadists in Africa just during the past decade. This “silent genocide,” as one ex-U.S. diplomat puts it, is still ongoing, too. It’s all part of an Islamic State…
