Rather than contend with Satan, they would have us compete with him for a decent market share. Desperate for bread, for new members, for a sense of relevance and legitimacy in the culture's eyes, the church is tempted to sell its birthright for a mess of pottage. The second temptation Jesus faces is the temptation to garner power though false worship. Jesus rejects power for the sake of worship. We only admit to wanting power in order to do something good with it.
Nobody admits to wanting power for the sake of feeling powerful.
We can seize this moment to expand our outreach to the least of God's children. These are interesting times. Perhaps, for the first time in human history, he who pays the piper will refrain from calling the tune. Perhaps the wall of separation between church and state is not a wall at all. It's a chain-length fence through which Uncle Sam can pass greenbacks to the churches.
