This flies in the face of the godless, big-government leftists who happen to be in control of power. This very concept is at the root of the recent news that Evangelical Christians are now on a list, existing within the US military, of terrorist groups.
Big government, by definition, competes with God.
HOWEVER, it flies in our own face and that of our brethren-in-Christ, as we/they might not understand that He is all-sufficient for all of our needs. We, too easily, believe that more than just Christ is necessary.
So we, (like Jacob wrestling with the Angel), compete with God, too. Don't be surprised when He has to touch the hollow of your thigh, taking away your strength so that you are forced to stop looking to your own sufficiency and have to cling to Him.
