A Carl Truman-ism from T4G 2012

"I'm a big fan of denominational splits.....because it means that someone somewhere is standing up for something."

For me, I came out of a church that worshiped ecumenical-ism, that would tolerate any idea or opinion or doctrine or teaching - even heresy, from the pulpit stage or classroom. And I can personally tell you that nothing in the church can be more passively damning than the meaningless moralism of this vanilla yogurt religion, no distinctives, no creeds, no confessions, no doctrines - no flavor!
