Moody Church pastor emeritus Erwin W. Lutzer (born 1941) is a darn fool!
Pastor Lutzer wrote a tribute to Pastor Charles C. Ryrie (1925-2016). Dr. Ryrie was a faithful free grace preacher who exposed Dr. John MacArthur's (1939-2025) damnable heresy of Lordship Salvation. In the tribute, Pastor Lutzer writes:
Erwin Lutzer is just another incompetent clown pastor today who should have been fired decades earlier. No, there is no “happy balance” Mr. Lutzer between Bible truth and damnable heresy! Shame on the Moody Publishers in Chicago for printing all of John MacArthur's toxic books which promote his damnable heresy of Lordship Salvation. Shame on Moody Church for inviting and honoring John MacArthur at the annual Founder's Week conferences. Shame on Moody Bible Institute for wickedly bidding Godspeed to John MacArthur.
Lordship Salvation is a gross perversion of God's Gospel of grace, which requires service and discipleship to validate salvation and sonship. No such conditional salvation is taught in the inspired King James Bible. The only type of salvation which God offers is eternal life, not probationary life. Salvation is received, not achieved. Faith is the only righteous thing that I can do. Sadly, John MacArthur is burning in the everlasting fires of Hell. Galatians 1:6-9 warns that there are not two gospels. There is only one Gospel (1st Corinthians 15;1-6).
In response to MacArthur’s book, Ryrie published So Great Salvation, which argued for the free offer of the gospel to sinners. I suspect that many of his students, like myself, have found a happy balance between the two views; but in the minds of MacArthur and Ryrie, their disagreement was clear. [emphasis added]

What is going on here is clear to see, Pastor Lutzer is a dead skunk. Pastor Curtis Hutson (1934-1995) used to wisely say that the only thing you'll find driving in the middle of the road are a bunch of dead skunks. Lutzer is straddling the fence, playing both sides of the debate to play it “safe,” lest he make enemies. I hate that kind of cowardice. The good Lord calls it being “lukewarm” and He vomits such wicked compromisers out of His mouth (Revelation 3:15-17).
