The Fire That Couldn't Stop Worship - Pentecostal (Romans 8:28)

Source: Contemporary testimony88 words

In 2019, a church in Louisiana was burned down by an arsonist. The congregation gathered in the ashes the next Sunday—and worshipped anyway. Within months, their story had spread; donations poured in. They built a larger building and launched a broader ministry. The arsonist meant destruction; God produced expansion. Romans 8:28 is not passive acceptance but active faith. The Pentecostal tradition emphasizes: worship in the fire, not just after it. Praise changes the atmosphere; faith releases God's working. What was meant to stop you becomes what propels you.
