The Corruption of Interest: And more Bible Gems from the Vault

By Ron Gallo

This book I consider one of my best and most intense. The false truth about what’s going on in our society, and the world, has gotten so ridiculous, that I felt I had to write this to advise believers and non-believers the truth as Jesus states in the word, in John 14:6 & 8:32. It was upsetting me that the truth was not coming from the politicians and from the pulpit. It took President Trump (thank God for sending him), to expose the corrupt state wide media, and the corruption in Washington D.C.I give the plain truth, from the word not only about the evil Demoncrats, but I also talk about subjects like religion, race, crime, etc. topics that most people will not talk about, because they are afraid there not “politically correct”. I don’t have to be politically correct; I have to be Biblically correct, this is Gods world, not Washingtons. I start off with Interest, which God meant for good, but man has corrupted it. Did you know that you can learn from a spider how to be closer to God and live a more fulfilled Christian life of discipleship? Did you know you can learn from the child and the dog about yourself? There are many other gems wisdom that you will love and learn from.

In my other books you can find on Amazon you would get a great blessing as well. There are the three volumes on “Balance, The Spider and the Saint, When I look up, and the childrens book, “Charlie the Spider and friends. I wrote them differently then other books out there. There are jokes, stories, quotes, to keep you entertained. Be Blessed my find, enjoy my books, but your relationship with God is even greater, that’s first Priority. Thank you for reading this text, and enjoy my friend. See you on the way up.

PREFACE

What Society Fails to Give You a Receipt For

This book is to inform, provide wisdom, knowledge, and understanding, and give you encouragement on issues and gems I have collected over many years. You will not read or hear many of these issues from the pulpit to the politician and the press or even in society in general. There are several reasons for this. The four main ones are money, fear, not wanting to disturb a hornet’s nest, and lastly, lack of knowledge and understanding. This information is not just based on my faith, but it should be everybody’s faith. It’s called the Word of God. I don’t have to be politically correct, as some say. I have to be biblically correct. I don’t have to be careful. I have to be correct. Solomon said in Proverbs 4:7, Therefore get wisdom, and with all thy getting, get understanding. Whenever you see the word therefore, stop and find out what it’s therefore. It means because of . . ., this happened, and what will follow. You can get much wisdom from people and by reading, but if they’re not advising you of the real truth or whitewashing things, then there is no understanding—just a bunch of hot air. I don’t mince words, so you don’t have to hear just air. Society, especially the Democrats, will fail to give you a receipt for what they say, because in Washington they, like some Rino Republicans, are not transparent and give false/misleading information. They don’t want their steps traced back. They’re always lying and looking to hide things, but not as I show you in the Word of God, the Bible. After reading this, you should get a better understanding of not only yourself but the world you live in and how your walk with the Lord can get even stronger each day. What I ask of you is to research before you play mental gymnastics about the truth. Don’t just drink the Kool-Aid the media, social media, and culture are telling you. Most, if not all, of it is false. Most people are so gullible and naïve. They believe anything. Oh, I saw it or heard it, so it must be true. Why? A cop or ranger stops someone, and they say, Well, you’re stopping me because I’m Black. No, you committed a violation. The Democrats in Washington and Hollywood want to divide the races. It’s all about power and control, and they know people will believe it. So they hook up on a narrative, like slavery/bad cops, race, and other names they call conservatives. These lunatics don’t even know what they’re saying. They’re just repeating what they heard or saw from others/media. As long as the media/politicians can use the race card, they can control them. Most police officers are hardworking. You get a bad apple and they make mistakes, but also do CPAs, auto mechanics, and doctors, but you don’t see that pushed on TV. Think for yourself and use the gifts that God has given you. People that strive for themselves and don’t rely on excuses, i.e., white supremacy, slavery, etc., do better in their lives because they are living for what God wants them to be for his will and not sitting around waiting to collect another check from the government if they had the opportunity to achieve through hit Lord and not through man. The Democrats in Washington want to push this narrative because they want to divide and conquer, and their ultimate goal is to destroy America. They push socialism, Marxism, communist unbiblical schemes, and woke ideology to push America down, just like a lot of these groups going around like Hate Lives Matter, etc. Stay away from them. We all have sinned, but when you see them on TV, the media doesn’t tell you. They have sin in their lives also and need a savior. I see these groups saying civil rights. It’s really civil unrest in their culture/neighborhoods (no matter the race). I love this one, justice, but for who? Why don’t you ask them who is committing better than 80 percent of the violent crimes (drugs/guns)? Look at the culture/age groups. Look in the jails and the prisons, the neighborhoods, the families with no father for he is either dead, in jail, or he ran off. Father’s Day is rare. Ride with a cop for an eight-hour shift and see the real truth. Then they kneel. They don’t even know why they do these things. They just drink the Kool-Aid and follow along not to be posterized, and they believe it. Instead, the media props up and has a bleeding heart for people and promotes/pacifies them instead of confronting the real issues of crime and the families/culture they were brought up in. They need God, like we all do. Christ needs to be emptied, not charity. For when you don’t let people think for themselves, but indulge them with hate for other people of color/cultures, you have control over them. That’s what it’s all about. They don’t want to know the truth but fables. It sounds better, more appeasing to their ear. Most churches don’t want to talk about it, but we have to. It’s all about the family, which came before the church, starting with Adam and Eve. The family is the most important foundation to God. It all starts with the seed and multiplies through generation. Preachers/politicians don’t want to talk about this because it will hurt folks’ feelings. Sorry if it does. So be it. It needs to get people to change. People from other countries, especially ones that had it hard growing up (the islands), when they get to this country, they tend to be good workers because they weren’t taken in by the government control system and beliefs. It comes from their upbringing/family. Remember, the devil is an Indian giver—whatever he gives, he takes back, so keep pushing out another baby, get that welfare check, and they will control you. Remember, the Bible doesn’t just comfort you, it corrects/confronts you. The Bible will bring you to your knees and to places you have never dreamed of. It is a mirror that you can see yourself for who you really are and what God wants for you in his will. It’s funny. People look in a bathroom mirror every day to look at the dirt spot and to get ready to go somewhere, but it’s only temporary. How about the eternal mirror, which shows your sin (dirt)? Why do we shy away from that? Remember, God loves you. Don’t get caught up with the media and the culture. get caught up with Christ. Go to a Bible-believing-based church. Get your mind on the Word of God. Keep in prayer, and the world and its system will diminish each day and you will see more clearly the insanity evil people are trying on the nation. The Bible says we are in the world, but not of it (1 John 3:1–10). The bottom line is, this book will not sugarcoat anything unlike the media, politics, the press, and the pulpit many times. Jesus says, Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free (John 8:32). If you want to hear garbage, keep looking at the world’s box, for in the end we all land in one. If you want to hear the truth, hear from the one who never needed one, for he arose from it.

I plead with you not to drink the Sweets that the social media, news media, culture, and society slam down your throat. Look at God’s policy manual, the Bible, just like you would refer to any instruction book on making/repairing things or a policy manual at work. The Bible is God’s policy or instruction manual for this planet. What’s the difference from the one you follow on earth? Do your research. Don’t just buy the trash the left and Rino Republicans are throwing at you. Many people are naïve and stupid, especially in the lower-income areas, and these slime bags know it and know that you will believe it. I know police who tell me that when they stop a Black or Hispanic guy many times, they use the race card. Why would you use that? The officer tells them they’re being stopped for a certain reason, not race, in most cases. But the media and social groups blow up isolated incidents, like all the police are bad. That’s like saying you get a bad cop or attorney. Are they all bad? If you notice, I refer many times to the Bible. This is my authority. It’s not my opinion. It’s the facts, my friend, statistics of which the media and culture want you not to be exposed to. If you know the information, you can make a logical decision. If not, it’s one-sided. The truth is hearing two sides out, and the truth is somewhere in the middle—except when it comes to the Bible, then it’s all truth. The Bible was written by some thirty-five to forty authors over a period of about 1,600 years, over many miles apart, and many Jewish/gentile/Christian persecutions in the centuries, and everyone was in agreement, and all the prophecies have been fulfilled except his second coming, which we are in the last days, and he’s coming soon. You can get three or four people to get into an agreement these days.

You have to remember, I come in love in my writings, but I must not sugarcoat the truth like many preachers, politicians, and the media does. Jesus said in John 8:32, Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free. I quote scripture in my writings. I’m not giving you my opinion as much as fact. We have to love our enemies as Jesus advised us to, but we must also give the truth, for Jesus said it shall set you free. You either love or hate me, and I don’t care which one you choose. I am guided by God for his glory and mercy and his purpose for my life, not yours. If you want to hear the truth, then you will read on. If not, put down the book, please. It might stub your toe. This is how I see it through my biblical views, which everyone should see because it’s not about politics. It’s about the Lord. He doesn’t have politics, Democrats, or Republicans in heaven. He only has up and down, the lamb. But I have to tell the truth about what’s going on, and how the Democrats hate America, lie, distort the truth, and how the state-run media and government are in bed with them. But at the end of the day, God is sovereign and he is in control, and if they don’t turn from their wicked ways, they will burn in the lake of fire. Washington is not in control, God is, and that’s what gives us our peace. Why would anyone want to vote for a party that pushes to kills babies, pushes a woke agenda, destroys and defunds the police and military, and goes against the constitution and all the amendments, especially the first and second, etc., etc. It’s because they hate America. Very simple.

Thought: Jesus spoke little but asked a lot of questions. Learn to listen more (that’s why we have two ears, two eyes, yet only one mouth). You learn more and get into less trouble when you listen, and ask a question with a question, or with a statement. It will shield you better, and you get more info in the process.

CHAPTER 1

Ephesians 6:12-14

What Secular Mainstream Society Doesn’t Tell You

Society doesn’t tell you about God, the Bible, and sin. Even many politicians and preachers—even those who are Republicans—are very weak and don’t want to fight against the lunatic establishment. They’re afraid of losing control and money, and don’t want to shake the hornet’s nest. But at times you need to. Jesus commands us to and showed it in the Word of him and his disciples who called out the Pharisees, Sadducees, and chief priests. He called them vipers, snakes, etc. Jesus just wasn’t that blond-haired guy on the church wall. He can get radical in a good way, and we need not be afraid of them and speak out. If Christians don’t, then who will—the world? I think not. Most Republicans don’t like to fight. That’s why I respect the ones who do, like Trump, DeSantis, etc. Jesus said, Take up your cross and follow me, and that you will have trials, but it will all be for my name’s sake. When I preached in the high school in the seventies, they weren’t laughing at me because I wasn’t talking about Ron Gallo but of God. The Word says in Romans 8:31, If God be for you, who can be against you. I always know where my dog’s poop is. I just look for the flies around the poop, the same in finding radical progressive (recessive) lunatic Democrats. Society wants to pull you away from God and not mention God even in the media because then you have to face your sin and the Word of God, and that’s something many avoid. Yet I’ve never seen anyone avoid their next breath or heartbeat, then who gave you that. Open your Bible, explore God’s Word, stop listening to the communist sympathizers who are demented and satanic. God loves them all, and so should we love them, but we need to start calling them out, just as God commands us to, and be the lion you are at times.

The Bible (Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth)

God is our refuge and strength. —Psalm 46:1

Be still, and know that I am God. —Psalm 46:10

I wrote this not just because it’s my First Amendment rights, or that it is written because of my faith, but it’s mainly/all because of the Bible and its truth. It’s not my faith but should be all faiths, because it’s God’s Word. I’m coming out with the truth of which many people are afraid to talk about out of fear of retaliation, but not me. I will tell you the truth like Jesus said in John 8:32, Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free. In society today, the truth is anything the media, the government, the corrupt government, corporations, culture, and social media tell you it is, and many people drink the Kool-Aid and fall for it. Why? In our communist-led society at the time this book is written, communism, socialism, and Marxism teach that there is no need for bloodshed to instill their doctrine, but to brainwash the young people, as young as toddlers, and instill these doctrines through the education system, culture, social platform, news, government, etc., to indoctrinate them to a certain belief. Just look at what they do in communist and radical Islamic countries/beliefs. It’s to hate Western civilization and America and is real. Have you ever thought, just ask why not what, why do many people hate America and is real. Both these countries mind their business for the most part, and have good people in it for the most part. Don’t both people want to do good for the world and live in peace and harmony, etc.? The reason is these lunatics on the left—mainly Democrats and Rino Republicans, liberal lunatics in Europe, Canada, etc.—want to destroy America and are jealous of America, yet they all want to come here, the land of the free, yet they criticize it so bad, why? We live in a sinful world.

The Template: Let’s first start off with things you need to know/understand. First of all, this world was made by God, but he allows Satan to run it until he returns (see 2 Cor. 4:4, 1 John 5:8, John 14:30, Eph. 2:2, Rev. 12:9, John 12:31, 8:44, 14:30, Eph. 2:2–3, Luke 10:18, and Ezek. 28:12–15). If I had to describe society today in one word, that would be apathy. Many people just don’t care. They do their own thing, unlike about forty or fifty years ago, instead of God’s. My wife, Joanne, always reminds me when I get on my soapbox. She reminds me in a few words, Ron, it’s a sinful world, and she’s right every time. So people are afraid to speak, and because of social media and culture mainly. But never be afraid to speak about what is wrong in our society and stand up for the Word of God. Many preachers and politicians won’t speak the truth. They tap-dance around it and tell me it’s about grace (John 8:32). Well, it is about God’s grace, but the Bible is a two-edged sword (Heb. 4:12). You cannot have grace without the gavel. It’s like in a home. You give your children grace, but you also tell them what’s wrong and with discipline at times. Jesus taught us this, especially in Matthew, where he gave the eight beatitudes, but he also gave the rules. Overall, the sinners loved Jesus, but the Jewish leaders like the chief priests, Sadducees, and the Pharisees didn’t like each other, but they all had one thing in common—they didn’t like Jesus. They were afraid of him because he spoke the truth (John 14:6) and they didn’t want to hear it, just like society today. Jesus called them names and confronted them, calling them snakes and vipers, and taught us to do the same type but in a professional manner. Jesus wasn’t just the long-haired guy on the church wall. He confronted them. It’s because the truth mattered more to him than being their friend. Today, many just want to be friends and not confront, and Christians are the worst. They feel they don’t want to stir the pot. But if you don’t confront your brother in Christ or the outside public, it’s a false sense of hope and truth, you’re making things worse. It’s like putting a Band-Aid on a major leg wound. Eventually you’re going to lose the leg. Even John the Baptist and Peter spoke to both the Jews and gentiles and called them out, and it wasn’t a love tap. Paul, writing to Timothy, encouraged him and said in 2 Timothy 4:2 to preach the Word in season and out of season, when they will have itching ears. That’s what we have today—preachers, politicians, and social media telling people what they want to hear instead of what they need to hear. This is mainly not to offend and they don’t want to lose membership, and the bottom line is, follow the money. When you do get a conservative Christian, usually a Republican, and they stand up for something right, they get ostracized and ridiculed on media for standing up for what is right. I applaud them for having the guts to speak the truth. The same thing happened in Jesus’s day. Christians were persecuted, thrown into the lion’s den like Daniel, into the fire like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, put in prison like Paul, Steven, and even Jesus. Sometimes you have to be the lion, sometimes the fox, and sometimes the lamb (Isaiah 11:6, Proverbs 28:1, and John 10). When I see most of these people on conservative news programs and they ask them, Why is there so much crime/bad things happening in the world today? I hear them dance around, but I never hear them say the truth. I don’t need four stars or initials next to my name to know what the Bible says. It’s plainly about man’s sin, period! They don’t mention it, because that would mean you have to mention God/Bible, and they cannot do that if they still want to be on the air. Ever since they took the Bible out of schools, this country has gone down. It really started during and after the Vietnam War with people wanting to be free and their rights, then they went overboard and it carried on to the generation we have today, where many young people have no respect for discipline, authority, or for one another or adults. I have personally seen it as a park ranger/in law enforcement and people I know as well in these fields. I love everyone as God wants us to, but we have to call it out like Jesus and the prophets/disciples, and many early Christians in the church.

Thought: God doesn’t have Democrats or Republicans in heaven. He only has up and down—the Lamb.

Satan’s Demons: Satan rules this world, even though God is in full control and sovereign. He has his demons (Revelation 12:7–9 and other Bible passages that talk about Satan and his demons). Satan uses these demons to get people away from
