As a retired Charleston SC fireman, I can tell you after years and years of fires. Theirs one thing in that church that didn’t burn. And that was the living word of God. I’ve seen homes and building burnt to the ground. I’ve seen the covers of the Bible may have been burnt, but the pages and the words on the pages weren’t. 🙏
Hope everyones safe!!

Wow. First the 202 year old church in the city i used to live in, and now this one all in the same week. The first one was from a lightning strike.

Why do people jump to conclusions and accuse others for disasters without proof!?
May God help us on judgment day.

Hey, this church is only 134 years old. Most churches in Europe have been rebuilt hundreds of times over hundreds of years.
