Police say that a motorcyclist participating in a protest ride was killed Saturday, July 2 in Onondaga, New York. Philip Conto, 55, of Parish, New York, was driving a 1983 Harley-Davidson with a group of bikers who were protesting helmet laws by not wearing helmets. Contos lost control of his bike, went over the handlebars and hit his head on the pavement. He was pronounced dead at a hospital.

The Bible says that for our spiritual protection we are to “Take the helmet of salvation…” (Ephesians 6:17). Our salvation, of course is through Jesus Christ. Many people protest against Jesus by refusing to accept him as Lord and Savior. They do so at their own peril.

The road of life is dangerous. Do you have your helmet on?
