Why Guitars Are Taking Over the World?

You may wonder, why the title Guitars Are Taking Over the World for a blog by a preacher/minister.

Well, realizing the importance and fun of blogs, and wanting to further combine my love for guitars and my love for Christ (besides writing and playing spiritual songs and prasie and worship), I wanted an outlet to share with you in a unique way.

Guitar is the most common and loved instrument in the world. More people play guitar then play anything else its seems. Just about everyone can pick up a guitar and strum a couple of chords. Even Walmart and Target sell guitars and guitar related products in their stores.

Because guitars are such an integral part of our lifes, it is a metaphor for how Jesus should be believed in in such a widespread manner, and loved by as many or move people than, well, guitars.

I believe there are few instruments as intimate with the player as the guitar. The violin may be the closest. The guitar becomes a part of the person playing it. They don't hold it to their lips, or reach out to touch its keys, but they strap it to their body, and it lays on the players body, across their chest and belly. The guitar resonates and vibrants and is felt by the player. It is an extension of their body, their hands and arms. It expresses their heart and soul, as no other instrument is capable.

A relationship with Jesus is to be even closer then that. He is to be more than an instrument we pick up from time to time and play with passion--he is to be our whole life and our passion. I want to convey that through the title and more.

Psalm 33:3 The best instrument you have is your heart!
