Ep 146 Prov 14 34 Righteousness exalts a nation – Exceptionalism or Kleptocracy

Jesus Time.
While watching the news and following the updates on the attempted assassination, I read this verse. That's nice that righteousness exalts a nation, but what is righteousness, and do we have to make the US a theocracy, that is, a nation governed by the "Christian" God.
We definitely do not want to continue in sin and then have to suffer God's condemnation.

Peace to you all today and this week!
