[NOTE: On Saturday, August 22, 2015, I spoke at a protest rally in Marietta, Georgia, calling for the de-funding of Planned Parenthood – the largest abortion-provider in America and an organization that receives nearly half-a-billion dollars annually in federal funds. The demonstration was sponsored by a coalition of pro-life groups and included a keynote address by Dr. Alveda King, niece of the late Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.]

I recently returned from Poland where I spoke at a conference for Christian university professors. This was my third trip to Poland in recent years, and each time I go I make it a point to visit Auschwitz concentration camp – the scene of the greatest mass murder in history and the central location for the Nazi’s “Final Solution” to the “Jewish problem” – what we usually refer to as “The Holocaust.” Auschwitz is a grim and ghastly reminder of the consequences of the evil inherent in each and every one of us – an evil that, unless checked by our God-given moral conscience, can manifest itself in ways that we would scarcely imagine.
