Miracle Amidst the Ashes: Historic Pulpit Emerges Unscathed from Devastating Church Fire

In a stunning turn of events, a pulpit with deep historical significance has emerged miraculously intact from the ruins of a devastating fire that gutted the historic sanctuary at First Baptist Church in Dallas. The pulpit, used by Southern Baptist legends like George Truett and W.A. Criswell, stood strong amidst the flames, a testament to the power of faith and divine intervention. Former FBC pastor O.S. Hawkins expressed his gratitude, calling it an “indescribably grateful miracle” and thanking the Lord for sparing the 130-year-old pulpit.

“So indescribably grateful for this miracle,” another former FBC pastor, O.S. Hawkins, shared. “In the midst of the total destruction of the church in the fire this 130 year old pulpit of Truett and Criswell and the others of us somehow someway miraculously survived. Thank you Lord.”

As the church community comes together to rebuild and recover, the miraculous survival of the pulpit serves as a beacon of hope and inspiration. Despite the extensive damage to the church, the pulpit’s emergence unscathed is a reminder that even in the darkest of times, God’s presence and protection are always at work. As Executive Pastor Ben Lovvorn shared, “One way or another, we’re going to come together somewhere for worship this coming Sunday,” a testament to the church’s resilience and commitment to their mission. The miraculous preservation of the pulpit will undoubtedly be a powerful symbol of faith and perseverance as the church moves forward.
