Today, Mike Huckabee was on The Hot Seat on Fox. During the interview he was asked if he identified more with the Republican party or the tea party movement. He said that he identified more with the tea party movement based on its dissidence and insurgence. When asked if he would make a party switch, Huckabee answered with this;
“It’s not about a party. The tea party is not a party, It’s not an organization as much as it is a movement. It’s a spirit. It’s an attitude.” He goes on to say that; “the real power of the tea party is that it isn’t structured. If it gets structured it will not be as effective.”
The church should be viewed the same way. It’s not an organization or a party that someone belongs to. It’s not about the church. The church is not an organization as much as it is a movement. It lives by the Spirit. It’s a way of life. The real power of the church is in the Spirit not in the structure. If it becomes structured it not as effective.”
