Live Christian Strong

Waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works. Titus 2:13-14

Lewis Hamilton: I think we need to make sure we’re pushing to free Congo, free Sudan, free Syria, free Palestine. I think there’s a lot of peace that I’m hoping that, at some stage, we get to.

FRANCE | CIVIL UNREST AND TRAVEL SAFETY France has deployed approximately 70,000 police officers and gendarmes nationwide amid another weekend of demonstrations. Major tourist attractions, including the Louvre, have closed, businesses have boarded up, and transportation services have been disrupted following last weekend's violence. If you're an American traveling in France, my biggest recommendation is to stay away from areas where demonstrations are taking place. You don't need to be participating in a protest to find yourself caught in violence, trapped by road closures, or affected by someone looking to exploit the unrest to carry out a crime or attack. The best way to stay safe is to avoid these environments altogether. Don't go out of curiosity, don't stop to film, and don't assume that a large police presence means an area is safe. Here are a few tools worth knowing about if you're traveling in France: (1) U.S. Embassy Paris and STEP step.state.gov/ Enroll in the State Department's Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) to receive security alerts and important updates from the U.S. Embassy. (2) FR-Alert fr-alert.gouv.fr/ France's official emergency alert system provides warnings and safety instructions to mobile phones in affected areas. (3) Alerts.live alerts.live/ An interactive map displaying reported demonstrations, security incidents, and other disruptions. Treat reports as preliminary until verified. (4) Sytadin sytadin.fr/ Real-time traffic information around Paris to help identify road disruptions and plan alternate routes. (5) RATP Traffic Updates bonjour-ratp.fr/en/info-traf… Check Paris public transportation disruptions, including metro, train, and bus services, before traveling. One important reminder: Not all these tools provide real-time information, and unofficial incident reporting can be incomplete or inaccurate. Use multiple sources and prioritize official emergency instructions. Situational awareness isn't just about recognizing danger when you're in it. It's about knowing enough beforehand to avoid putting yourself in that situation in the first place!

If only we, as Latter-day Saints, belonged to a church that had “Jesus Christ” in its name and His image in its logo … Oh wait

You are living in the final days of the American Empire. Your wealth has been stolen by inflation, fraud, and foreign aid. Your culture has been corrupted by the glorification of unhinged degeneracy through Hollywood, the occult music industry, and pornography. Your churches have been compromised by cultural relevancy, theological liberalism, and ecclesiastical cowards who won’t call sin out for what it is. The family has been destroyed by no fault divorce, feminism, and hook up culture. All your politicians work for foreign governments. You don’t own your own home because of property taxes. We are about to go to war…again…the national debt has increased 100% over the past 10 years. Where else is there to go once this nation goes? Come soon Lord Jesus!
