A fire destroyed a Texas man\u2019s home leaving little to be salvaged, but his personal Bible survived. Homeowner Charles House believes it is a testament to God\u2019s faithfulness.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe said His Word would not perish, and the Bible did not burn,\u201d House said. \u201cIt was scorched but it did not burn. That Man\u2019s Word is real.\u201d<\/p>\n

House was living in a tiny home when it caught on fire. According to KLVT,<\/a> firefighters were called around 4:30 a.m.<\/p>\n

\u201cI looked up and my whole bedroom was on fire,\u201d House said. \u201cAll I could do was just jump us and run out of the house.\u201d<\/p>\n

House nearly passed out trying to escape. Just being able to get out of the house was a blessing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI liked to have passed out trying to get out the door, and it\u2019s fortunate I got myself out of there,\u201d said House. \u201cIt\u2019s a blessing; I can\u2019t stop saying that because it\u2019s a blessing. I thank God.\u201d<\/p>\n

House said the home was ruled a total loss. As he walked through the rubble and the remains of what was left, a book stood out in the midst of the remains of a charred side table \u2013 his personal Bible had survived unscathed.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can take it away, but you can never stop His Word,\u201d House said. \u201cI\u2019m a witness to that right now. Seeing that Bible, in the middle of that fire\u2026 it didn\u2019t burn that Bible.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the fire marshal\u2019s investigation, hazarding wiring caused circuits to overload and spark the fire inside the home\u2019s wales.<\/p>\n

House who is disabled has started a GoFundMe page to help raise money to try and find another place to live. You can learn more here. <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
