LRC, Houston - the weekends-free church in Houston, Texas

Thank you for visiting LRC, the "weekends free" church in Houston, TX. Come check out our unique Friday night gathering... and then enjoy the rest of your weekend!

We are not your normal church. You'll figure that out as soon as you step inside. We're constructing a new building and much is changing around here... inside and out.

Life Revealing Community (formerly Liberty Revival Church) was founded 20 years ago in Houston, TX by Ernie and Lyn Fitzpatrick. Coming out of the business world, Ernie has a heart to help people prosper in the business world by embracing Kingdom principles of business and personal spheres. We're progressive and yet traditional in values. Sometimes the newest thing is the oldest thing.

LRC is a unique church without pews, without walls. We believe that we are called to immerse ourselves in the community through programs like Culture Shapers, a citywide art contest through which we have given nearly $700,000 to Houston area high school students.

We are changing culture, beginning with ourselves. We are not who we were twenty years ago. We are not who we were 2 years ago. Are you? Then join us on the journey!

That American was founded on Christian principles is undeniable. But, the brand and flavor of Christianity was far from what Pat Robertson or other conservative Christians would admit. Far from being theists, most of the founding fathers were diests. And the more well-known founders were Unitarians, and not Trinitarians! Big differences! Continue reading ‘A Unitarian Foundation?’

If Grace Is True: Why God Will Save Every Person

by Philip Gulley

Traditionally, many Christian denominations have held fast to the belief that those who confess God's saving grace from sin will be rewarded with eternal life while those who reject this grace will be damned to eternal perdition. Such a belief, according to ministers Gulley and Mulholland, fails miserably to acknowledge the real message of Christianity: that God's gracious arms are wide enough to hold every person, regardless of shortcomings or sins.

The authors did not always feel this way, and their little meditation on Christian universalism is as much autobiographical confession as theological treatise. Using stories from their own lives and ministries, Gulley and Mulholland devote a chapter to each of the words in the sentence "why God will save every person." In a seamless voice, they tell of people's struggles to accept teachings of the church that keep them from closeness with God.

They also recall events in their own lives where they stood in the way of God's grace operating in personal relationships. For example, when one of their ministerial friends declared his homosexuality, they realized that - despite their former judgmental stance on homosexuality - this person deserved God's love and grace as much as any other. Salvation, they argue, is simply being freed of every obstacle to intimacy with God.

Gulley and Mulholland's stirring manifesto on the central role of universalism in Christianity will provoke traditionalists and encourage new ways of thinking about the nature and purpose of the Christian faith.
