 Matthew 6:24 <br><i>
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.</i>
<p>
 Romans 6:16 <br><i>
Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? </i>

These verses tell us that we ultimately become the servants of our WorldView where our Heart is.
<p>
Each person is either Saved or Lost .  There is no middle ground.
<p>
That being the case, the Kingdom of Heaven cannot grow without the kingdom of satan diminishing and vice-versa.

This is a ` ZeroSum coompetition`.
<p>
When two individuals on a team vie to be the MVP this is a `non - ZeroSum competition`.  This is because the team wins either way and the loser can revel in that even in a personal loss.
<p>
For many years American were on the same team.  Virtually everyone believed in God and Country.  So, in Congress there could be compromises for the team ( America ) that, on the individual Representative`s side, appeared to be a loss, but the country won.
<p>
There is no stasis between God and Satan .  Neither is there stasis between Capitalism and Socialism .
<p>
Now we know that Satan is defeated by the Victory of Christ Jesus .  But those who reject Christ will lose with their master.
<p>
There is no guarantee of Capitalism defeating Socialism .  
<p>
As Americans we need to understand that the days of `non - ZeroSum compromise` are gone.  The struggle 
we are in today is a ZeroSum one in which either Capitalism or Socialism prevails.
