Religion knows about God. Righteousness knows God.

Summary

The sermon emphasizes the critical distinction between superficial religious practice and true spiritual righteousness, highlighting the transformative power of having Christ's cross in one's heart rather than merely symbolically wearing it. The speaker warns about societal challenges facing America, including socialism, corruption, anti-semitism, drug addiction, and abortion, and argues that national redemption can only come through a genuine return to Jesus Christ and Biblical principles. Drawing from the biblical proverb that "righteousness exalts a nation," the preacher calls for a profound spiritual renewal as the key to overcoming national moral decay and preserving the country's future.
