California Girls - Beach Boys

Capital DF-502

Liner notes: "Here's a summer-full of excitement as The Beach Boys hit the sand with the kind of music that makes young America swing. Besides the incomparable California Girls with Mike Love singing the lead, there's Help Me Rhonda (the single record version); Salt Lake City and an outta-sight instrumental titled Summer Means New Love."

Side One:
The Girl From New York City
Then I Kissed Her
Salt Lake City
Girl Don't Tell Me
Help Me, Rhonda

Side Two:
California Girls
Let Him Run Wild
You're So Good To Me
Summer Means New Love
And Your Dream Comes True

You'd think that a song title such as "And Your Dream Comes True" would be perfect to lead into talking about humanity's dream of heaven. But, that's not true. Natural man does not desire heaven. Natural man does not desire God. We may desire a god, but not THE God. Until we are born again through the blood of Jesus Christ we are enemies of God. Romans 5:10 is one of the most amazing verses: "For if while we were enemies [of God] we were reconciled to God through the death of His son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life." (NASB). What this is saying is that, even though we were enemies of God, he still loved us so much that He sacrificed his only Son so that we could live.
