“So indescribably grateful for this miracle. 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,” Hawkins wrote on X.
As Crosswalk reported, Dr. Robert Jeffress, First Baptist Dallas’ senior pastor, shared Hawkins’ post where he also wrote: “A true miracle—especially if you saw the flames engulfing the place this pulpit was displayed.”
Posting a video on Facebook, Dr. Ben Lovvorn gave a one-week update on the building following the fire.
“It’s been one week since that four-alarm fire destroyed our historic sanctuary,” Lovvorn said. “But God has been good through this week. He’s answered so many prayers, and we’ve made incredible progress.”
Lovvorn said that for the safety of all, the church would meet again at the convention center in Dallas. Right now, beams and scaffolding are being added to the historic sanctuary.
“Much work has been done to re-mediate and restore and prepare our worship center so that we can come back and gather for worship here,” Lovvorn said.
