Catch Us If You Can - The Dave Clark Five

B/W - Move On
Columbia DB 7625

Hit in 1965. Another great Dave Clark Five song that is good for dancing.

"Catch Us If You Can" Did you know that is what sin in your life is saying? We love our sin. BTW, sin is anything done or thought that is in disobedience to God. It is sin, our disobeying God, that keeps us separated from God. It keeps us from hearing Jesus knocking at the door.

But there is something interesting about sin. It never really satisfies. We always need a little more. We always are left with a feeling that if we just went a little further, had a little more, then we would find happiness.

Take money for example. There is nothing sinful or wrong about money. But is sinful is the love of money. Doesn't it seem that if you had just a little more money,you'd be okay? You could pay off the bills, have a nice meal out sometimes... just a little more money would do it. But when you do get a little more money,nothing changes.

The Bible tells us to be satisfied with what we have. Don't go chasing after pleasures...money, cars, sex or whatever. Put your focus on what is important... what happens after you die. You are only here on earth a short time. But what you do here determines what happens to you for eternity.

The End Of The World - Skeeter Davis

B/W The End Of The World (this is a DJ copy with the same song on both sides)

RCA SP-45-436

Originally released in 1963, this was a re-release that became a country hit in the early 1970's

Skeeter Davis sings about it being the end of the world because of lost love. That can be tough, but it's not the end of the world. Looking at the signs we see around us now, we now may be truly looking at the end of the world coming soon. The Bible talks about things happening near the end time such as the Jews returning to Israel (the have); people denying that God created the world and that there was a world wide flood (they are); about natural disasters (they are increasing); and people denying Christ (they are). I'm not a prophet, but it's looking like the time is getting close for Jesus to return. Yes, many people have cried "The end is near!" and have been proven wrong. But never before have the clear signs described in the Bible been so obvious. I'm not saying I know the end is near for sure, but I do say that if you have not repented (turned away from disobeying God) and trusted that Jesus has paid the penalty for your sins... maybe now is the time to start reading your Bible and ask Jesus to save you.

Do you consider yourself to be a good person? Good enough at least so that God will let you into heaven? That won't get into heaven. God has told us that no one is good enough.

Are you counting on God to just forgive you? You are forgetting about God's justice. God is just. Those who have broken God's laws will pay the penalty. The violation has been against the infinite God, creator of the universe, so the punishment is infinite... hell. But, God loves you very much. The penalty must be paid, but He loves you so much that he paid the penalty Himself. Jesus Christ died on the cross, taking on himself the full and terrible wrath of God against your sin. Paying your the penalty you owe. If you accept this gift, God gives it to you freeing you from the obligation to pay your penalty and allowing you to enter heaven free from sin and corruption.

Trust in Jesus today.
