10 Questions For Franklin Graham

(2 of 2)

What have you learned about aging from your father? Well, you know he's 88 this year. I admire that he still has the desire to preach at his age and is just as focused today as he was 30 years ago. I think he's aged extremely well. I just hope I can do it half as well as he's done it.

Do you still ride your motorcycle and, if so, do you wear a helmet? I do, and yes, it's a state law [to wear a helmet]. Today it's kind of cold and foggy, so I won't ride. Well, I might. Never know. I might just get on to it and go if the sun peeks out. You know, when I was young, I didn't wear a helmet.

Is it a sin not to wear a helmet? No, it's not a sin. You know the Bible says our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit. And if we do something to hurt the bodies that we have, eating too much, eating the wrong foods, drinking too much, we are hurting this body God gave us and I think putting your body at risk when you don't need to put it at risk, like riding a motorcycle without a helmet, I just don't think it makes sense. I think God gave us a brain. He expects us to use it.
