Has Noah’s ark been found?

At last, the article I’ve been waiting all week to read. Life and Land blog responds to this week’s reports that Noah’s Ark has been discovered on Mount Ararat. Once again, Bill Crouse and Gordon Franz offer a good dose of common sense and caution.

Their conclusion: “At this point we are skeptical of the claims but would rejoice in the end if they proved to be true…For the person in the pew, we caution you to not get too excited about something that is at best, unsubstantiated; and at worst, a fraud perpetrated by the Kurdish guide.”

Free album from Page CXVI

This week, you can download for free the entire Hymns I album by the band Page CXVI (‘one-sixteen’). Songs include:

  • Come Thou Fount
  • In Christ Alone
  • My Jesus I Love Thee
  • When I Survey The Wonderful Cross
  • Nothing But the Blood
  • Solid Rock
  • Joy

Their brand new Hymns II album is also on sale now through their website. The first album was good, but I think I like the second album even better. “How Great Thou Art” has long been one of my favorite songs, and their arrangement beautifully complements the lyrics. Other songs on the second album include:

  • Praise to the Lord
  • Jesus I Am Resting, Resting
  • Rock of Ages
  • Abide With Me
  • Battle Hymn of the Republic
  • Doxology

We’re very privileged to have this band playing at our Spring Concert in just a couple weeks, on May 14! If you’re in the Yucca Valley or Palm Springs area, we invite you to join us for a great night of music and worship.
