Wanted: Guitar Player for Jesus

I was a young Christian and was wondering if God could ever use me and my instrument again. I say “again” because I used to play lead guitar in secular rock bands. Music had been an idol to me. That idol was smashed on Super Bowl Sunday (January 1984) when, into the dumpster behind my […]
