How often do you listen to Christian music?

[LadyJane]

Christian music has changed tremendously over the years. It is excellent quality and not boring at all! 98% of the time, I listen to Christian music...the other 2% of the time I listen to U2 and oldies. Some of my favorite Christian artists are Third Day (they are awesome in concert), Tree63, Joy Williams, Bethany Dillion, Michael W.Smith, Newsboys, and Casting Crowns (their song, Who Am I, is excellent:)

[Nikê]

I have to say that I really don't like Christian music to much....so I don't really listen to it.

[Raithlin]

I love my CCM, so I listen as much as I can. I only listen to other music (besides P&W) if I can't pick up a Christian station, and don't have any CDs with me. Even then I prefer classical music...

[Data Storage]

My churchs youth group have an awesome band so I listen to them daily

[DLDILL]

My kids and I love it! We listen to everything from Amy Grant to Skillet. We love the Veggie Rocks CD!!

[Gwynne]

Love Christian music :D Give me my SmileFM!!! LOL However my husband listens to country (yuck...) so when he's got control of the radio, that's what's on.

[SuperSmart]

XChristian music is the best music to listen to but sometimes its hard to listen to it every waking moment

[tbird_energizerbunny]

I listen to Christian music ALOT But I also listen to different kinds of music so that I can relate to those who I try to witness to. sometimes, I will listen to a certain kind of music so that I can get an opportunity to tell them about the things that God has used me todo.

[okiemommy26]

most of the time

[Cutie_girl]

i listen to christian music all the time its so up lifting i love it

[magnoliamusings]

My radio time gets divided between a christian hit radio station and AFR. I love the christian hit radio station the most. Then there are my CD's. :)

[yfriday lover]

i am a huge fan of new christian rock bands... i can dance + mosh + make as much noise as i want + its for the glory of God, plus by buying a ticket im helping them make a living. plus i just love the music!

i also sing in a church choir + a music band, so im exposed to all types of christian music + theyr all great

[Hisbygrace]

I listen to Christian music most of the time. Not only does it bring you into the presence of God, but it lifts you up, comforts you in the storms and brings peace to the soul.

[Caprice]

There are insuficient options on this poll for me to select an answer. I'd say I listen two specifically "Christian" music about 20% of the time outside of church. Does that mean I'm a bad person or anything?

[k]

I enjoy seeking Christian music that is not "officially" labeled as Christian. Audioslave maybe? One of the things that is amazing, and affirming, about the Holy Spirit is it will tell us whether the music we are listening to is praising, seeking, or ignoring God.

Peace

[Izzy23]

I listen to Christian music about 80% of the time. I love CeCe Winans, Jaci Valasquez, Andre Crouch, etc. I do listen to secular music once in a while but I am very particular about what I choose to listen to and it is music I grew up with (70's and 80's) and nothing that would have a negative content in it. As they say, you are what you eat.

[Mrs. Matt Dally]

Most of the time.

[just_dance]

I listen to it all the time.

[Paladin for Christ]

There are insuficient options on this poll for me to select an answer. I'd say I listen two specifically "Christian" music about 20% of the time outside of church. Does that mean I'm a bad person or anything?No, no. It's not a sin to not listen to Christian Music. I listen to Secular Music all the time, along with Christian Music.

How do i praise God outside of music? The Bible, obviously. :liturgy:

[Bullheadangel811]

I listen to it most of the time. I just feel it keeps me close to God.

[Thithy]

What happened to the possible answer of every once in awhile. As in more than just church, but not all the time. I don't listen to any one type of music a lot.

[Sascha Fitzpatrick]

I listen to both, but every morning it comes on as my alarm, so I listen for about 30 mins (it's a Christian Radio Station, with a good mix of Christian and Positive Secular music).

It also depends on my mood - if I'm depressed, and really need cheering up, I'm more inclined to go and listen to Christian music, than to put on secular...

Sasch

[brinny]

daily

[Neal]

My sister has all the good Christian CDs... I mostly have the instrumentals. But, actually, most of the artists that I listen to profess to be Christian!

[Neal]

Oh, and you can't go wrong with John Tesh, my piano hero!

[Waterhouse]

Most of the time... though not all types of Christian music appeals to me.

[prettyrose436]

i voted "most of the time." I listen to all types of music but I have been listening to more and more of the christain alternative rock.

[BubblesRelena]

Other than Christian music...I happen to like country. :: shrug:: That's the way I am.

[brinny]

lots :D

[Yawehdog137]

I love it

[Raheelah]

Christian music is all i ever listen to - just love the stuff - i am a Praise and Worship freak LOL :) ;) :D :cool: :P :wave: :thumbsup: :amen: :clap: :hug: :preach: :prayer: :groupray: :bow: :angel:

[jesusfreck120]

it will help you in your walk with God

[die2live]

It's pretty much the only music I choose to listen to...Although sometimes secular music is playing at places I can't control.

Me too. The only music I choose to listen to is Christian. I do not believe that all secular music is inherently bad. However, it is a replacement for music that is inherently good, that is, music that gives God glory. Isn't that the purpose of music in the first place.

[ysl_75]

Are you a Christian music junkie? Is the only time you hear Christian music at church?
I listened to Christian music most of the time because it feel very good ...

[Blessed-one]

isn't there another option?

sometimes?

[bubblefish]

I listen to Christian music most of the time. It always makes me feel good, closer to God.
I still do listen to other music, but mainly a Christian radio station.

[FoundInGrace]

should listen to more of it but some of the stuff they call Christian some of the lyrics aren't exactly biblical - well at a church i used to go to anyway...
but there is some good stuff out there definitely!

[~ Gig ~]

I listen 2 christian music most of the time. I love it.

[GodFlute2]

Just about 24/7. lol.

[mollydarling]

I listen to Christian music about half the time, maybe a little less. :)

[Lithium Hobo]

Ugh, too sappy and corny for my tastes.

[Lycana]

I listen to it mostly at work, but I have a few albums at home by Michael W. Smith, DC Talk, Avalon, and a few others.

[Miss Spaulding]

Really, I only listen to/sing it at church. And it's not Christian music...they're just really the old hymns. I love old hymns. I'd rather listen to hymns than some of the Christian music today.

[rachewil15]

Most of the time. I love all kinds of music though, but I listen to Christian music the most out of my collection that I have.

[Greenthumb]

I listen to Christian music quite a bit. I have the car radio tuned to a Christian station. The new worship music is really good.

[*Starlight*]

Only sometimes... because I know only two really good Christian music bands.

[Loopi]

I listen to it most of the time. I love hip-hop music and rap, and love christian rap because the words and images given by non christian rap is just pointless. I love listening to christian artists!

[Saruman]

I listen to it mostly just at church...i just haven't found a musician i really like yet.

[Tanyalita]

I've been listening to it a lot the past couple of days. I got my first Christian CD and it's pretty good. Anyone heard of Point of Grace? I also wanna get 12 Stones next time I go to the Family Christian Store.

[redkingjoe]

Could we reset the questions please?

[pinkberry]

I really don't know what to put. I listen to it more than at church, but not most of the time. Let's say "occasionally". ;)

[LadyCoyote_Fin]

Fortunately in the area I live, we're able to listen the only Christian radio channel in Finland.

I listen the radio all the day while I'm working. I also like to listen the popular music, but during the last half of the year the gospel music has taken the main part of the music I'm listening to.

LC :angel:

[Imagine_your_dreams]

I find Christian music very relative to my life. I have a song for everything. I can rest in the fact that it won't be vulgar or offensive to God. I love the encouragement I find in it along with the opportunity to praise God in just one more area of my life!

[AvgJoe]

Everyday. Since I have a co-worker that rides with me at work I don't listen to it 100% of the time. We split the radio time. When riding alone I usually listen to sermons, on the radio, most of the time.

[Shanagal]

I answered "most of the time" because, even though I listen to it everyday, at times I do listen to other music :)

[Bemiah_Angel]

all the time!!!!!

[GEO4CHRIST]

It surprises me how God changed my taste of music, I used to only listen to regular music but now I cant go on with listening to christain music at least once a day.

[Abbadon]

I guess it depends on how you define "Christian music." If this includes the kind of Christian rock that's banned by the Geneva convention, yes, I listen to Christian music most of the time.

[mycatspice]

I listen to it daily, but I don't seperate myself from secular music.

[chosen_boss]

I pretty much only listen to Christian music, but every now and then I listen to something else.

[eternal_flame_1988]

I LOVE CHRISTIAN MUSIC!!!!!! Whenever possible I listen to it....other stuff just don't compare.

[runner_for_jc]

I said most of the time, cause it's not all I listen to, but I don't hear it only at church either...I'd say it's probably more 50/50, but also depends on my mood. There's just times all I want to do is listen to praise music and sing along :)
Jordan Gibson*24

[runner_for_jc]

WOW! More peopl listen to christian music then i thought!
Jordan Gibson*24

[runner_for_jc]

It depends on my mood on what kind of music ill listen too...

[Mal2]

never, it always sounds like they are trying to push christianity on you, even in their music

[Bledsoe2]

I love christian music i listen to it all the time!

Bledsoe2

[Bledsoe2]

Jordan Gibson*24


I agree!!!

Bledsoe2

[Bizzlebin Imperatoris]

I cannot stand "pop Christian" musics.

[California Dreamin']

I have been listening to quite a bit of Christian music lately... Chris Tomlin, Matt Redman, Rebecca St. James.

[xxRachaelxx]

christian music is all i listen to these days

[Ceccia]

As far as Christian music goes, I only like the "old-school" stuff. No, I mean *really* old-school. Mozart's Requiem, Berlioz's "Messe Solennelle", the Rossini "petite messe solennelle", the Bach Passions and Magnificat...:thumbsup:

[reformedfan]

Christian music is why I don't listen to Christian radio

[Richard]

Ask and I'll give the nations to you ... Oh Lord thats the cry of my heart

What song is that ??

I also love switchfoot...... " we were meant to live "

[sparks_will_fly]

your poll didnt give enough possible answers so i didnt vote. i may turn to the CR once or twice a day but depending on what their playing at the time;I either keep it on or switch it.I dont like country music at all and some of it is based in country sounding stuff.wont say the certain band that is always on but i dont like it even if it is considered Gods music.i have to have a pleasing sound to me to even want to listen to words.theres very few Christian artists i listen to.like MWS:) Stryper:)

[Neenie]

Christian music is very cheesy. Not only that, but most of it is bland and predictable.

[alabaster jar]

I put only at church because the other categories didn't really fit. I do listen to a Christian radio station occasionally; but more for the talk programs. I like a very select group of songs, though; they have to be really good as I tend to like country and the songs tend to have a more pop rock type style.

[pentecostalgirl0414]

It is really the only thing that I listen to.

[Kekkaku Ryuu]

Only at church. I prefer to listen to Japanese music. I can't stand to listen to anything in English.

[tqpix]

Rarely.

[shayshay7]

Sometimes, mostly to/from church. If the christian station wasn't so staticy on my radio, I would probably listen to that all the time.
Now, all I listen to is Switchfoot........

[wendythepooh]

I listen to Christian music most of the time, but I do enjoy my old faves occassionally as well! :thumbsup:

[DemunHunter]

Third day and DEMON HUNTER WOOO!!!

[In the Garden alone]

I Listen To Christian Music Daily!!!
I Cannot Survive A Day:hug: Without It.:wave:

[Fly04~J~]

I listen... If I'm in the bathroom... I sing it... well, listen and sing Christian music is not becoz you have to or becoz you want to...it's becoz... the spirit of God is inside you.

[purpleunicorn_Andi]

there are times when it is all I listen to, and other times I listen to country, or soft rock

[maylu_roll]

I looove Christian music, relient k, man I love them. I listen to them on a daily basis, so yeah...Christian music ROX!

[sherlockmcbride]

ALMOST all of the music I listen to is Christian

[kleptobismol]

about half the time...

[sunnyshine]

Most (like, 90%) of the time!

Once in awhile hubby will crank up some old country (Hank Williams songs)... lol. And I like theatrical music. But mostly Christian!

Third Day, Pillar, Hillsong, Jeremy Camp, Mercy Me, Todd Agnew, Benjamin's Gate... I love it all! :P

[Zoomer]

I listen to a little bit, most of which are hymns in and out of church.

[Yamialpha]

Unfortunately I admitt to the fact that I only hear it at church or church-related functions. I used to listen to it on the radio quite frequently, but then I took an interest in classical music that did away with that. Perhaps I should take an interest in it again.

[trussell04]

I listen to it alot of the time. It is a lot more modivating than most other music.

[squigui]

I listen to christian music simply because it's good music, not because I'm very caught up in the fact that it's actually christian music I'm listening to.

[halifaxhoney]

I'm not really into Christian music except for hymns at church.

[~Lady Trekki~]

Christian music is the only music I listen to...unless I hear other stuff on tv or from the next car over. :)

For me it's the only way to go because I need the encouragement it brings me. Also, it keeps my mind from other things that it shouldn't have in it anyway. :D

Another benefit is that it keeps my mind on God. :thumbsup:

[Imblessed]

I listen to it most of the time, now that there are a couple of good stations around here. Got a good collection of CDs if I'm out of range of any good stations. Relienk K, Switchfoot, Newsboys, Audio Adreneline, Tree 63, Mercy Me, Chris Tomlin, etc....

But I still get a hankerin' for the stuff I grew up on, and I like to find the classic rock station occasionally. Or the Alternative station when I'm in Columbus. But you can count me out of the pop music scene. Never did like it!

[Onesimus85]

For the most part I only listen to Christian music. I prefer Pillar, G.S. Megaphone, TFK, Switchfoot, Daily Planet, and lots of other groups. I like to listen to either the rock Christian Music or the praise music like Chris Tomlin or David Crowder Band, I rarely listen to Contemporary Christian music though.

[If Not For Grace]

Needed and "other" box. Regularly would be the best suited answer for me. Most days, I listen to at least one-four songs, but not everyday.

[Phil Caracas]

I'll admit that most of what I listen to wouldn't really be considered christian music, but I do enjoy Jars of Clay, Newsboys, Audio Adrenaline and D.C. Talk on a semi - regular basis.

[Mishap]

I listen to a range of music but my playlist usually contains atleast 1/4 Christian music, both contemporary and praise.

[one way]

It is the only music that isn't bad, but it's not the only music I listen to.

[Walks On Water]

I hear it every now and then.

[otter272]

I try to listen to some form of Christian music as often as I can.

Usually, however, that just means that I'm listening to music performed by a Christian band.

[belle911]

i love christian music i listen to it all the time

[PlumTea]

I only listen to Christian music at church, but then that is really the only time I listen to any music at all..
I don't like a lot of popular Christian music, it's not really about anything.

[skywatcher]

I perform Christian music,and produce it and have been blessed,blessed,

blessed by it.:pray: :clap:

[Ghanima]

For the most part I listen to Christian music.

Sometimes if a song comes on that I don't particularly like on the radio, then I'll skip around to a classical station, or an 80's station, or a few other stations I have on satellite radio.

[RedneckAngel]

I can hardly get any good christian stations where i live(excuse #1):sigh:


:mad:U Gotta Love This Angel:mad:

[Unicorn1984]

I listen to music every day, christian but also non-christian music.

I just love music a lot (who does'nt :doh:)

[Defiant]

Christian music is the only music I listen to (exception: at work --but I still have a radio at my desk). Listening to Christian music and its message is wonderful way to keep the thoughts of God in you mind throughout the week.

I do also listen to talk radio.

[Illuminite]

no vote option for me.maybe once a week

[SojoMeg]

I voted 'only at church' but in reality I do listen to a little when the songs cross over into mainstream or if secular bands have a sort-of Christian/religious themed song that plays on mainstream stations. Examples would be Jars of Clay's "Flood" or (don't know the song title or band) but the song has the lyrics "I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth, I look at my daughter and I believe". By the way, if any of you know the song I'm talking about let me know. I've been wanting to download it for some time. Thanks!:)

[In A Perfect World]

I don't care much for Xtian music. I LOVEEEE Gregorian chant, though. Buddhist chant is also up there on favorites.

[Silent*Tears]

It is the only music I listen to. My mom says that if it isn't worshiping, praising or singing about God, then it is worshiping, praising, or singing about Satan.

[jacko50]

there should be a 'sometimes' option. well i listen to it whenever i feel like it. i have some cds which i may play but its not the only music i listen to.

[In A Perfect World]

It is the only music I listen to. My mom says that if it isn't worshiping, praising or singing about God, then it is worshiping, praising, or singing about Satan.
are you serious

[much_loved]

I listen to it a lot. I only listen to secular music if it has a good beat, and it has Godly lyrics.

[A New Dawn]

I only listen to other music when someone else has a radio or the TV on. Otherwise, it is only Christian music for me.

Mostly Veggie Tales. ;)

[shakingthedustoffmyfeet]

Christian music. One of the best things about it is that in comes in so many genres, something for everyone who loves Jesus.

[lgintrnj]

southern gospel is my kind of music

[~Blackangel~513~]

For the most part this is the only music I listen too. I used to listen to more secular music but then I visited exministries.com (http://www.exministries.com) and my whole outlook has changed.

[Blessed_Mommy]

almost always. I've got my dial on my radio set to Air1 (Christian radio that plays stuff like TobyMac, Jars of Clay, Third Day, etc.). I also have lots of Christian CD's that I listen to. I just bought 12 Stones and I love them!

[meselfs]

I never listen to it, so I chose the last option. However, I don't hate it, I'd say I just don't like it much, and I don't think that going to church & listening to the music is being a believer...

[Rusticus]

It really depends on what you call "christian music".

I listen to Gregorian Chants while praying and meditating (and no...i'm not RC).

I like classical music, and a lot of the music written by the likes of Handel and Bach and Vivaldi are christian music.

Try listening to a good recording of Vivaldi's "Gloria" on a good sound system on full volume ...... There's nothing quite like it.

Rusticus

[Azna]

The song "What if God was one of us?" is pretty good. But other than that...

[Woody]

I listen to a mix of chirstian and non christian, one of my favourite bands is none christian....dunno if thats a bad thing..... I really shoudl have put "half of the time" but its wasn't there as an option, so i chose most of the time :)

[KinaBolina]

About half and half. I own more secular CDs though. I listen only to Christian radio though.

[big1968dog]

it's all I listen to... really like Jeremy Camp and Third Day

[JulianaTheory]

There are so many amazing Christian Bands out there! The coolest thing is that there is a spiritually healthy band to replace any secular band's sound and at the same time give you encouragement from better (godly) lyrics. My all time fav band is Ghoti Hook. I love christian punk music! I also like Thousand Foot Krutch, Pillar, Kutless, Barlow Girl, Superchick, Switchfoot and Relient K. Check out those bands for some great music that will rock your face off and bless you at the same time!

Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise.
Ps. 48:1

[kw5kw]

I do not listen to "modern, contemporary" Christian music. It means absolutely nothing to me. It is not scriptural, it's 'feel-good' music, and that's what Satan is all about. It's his job to masquerade as an angel of light in order to confuse us. No, contemporary music is not for me.



Christian music, to me, is spiritual hymns found in the hymnals at church. Rock of Ages, Amazing Grace, Holy, Holy, Holy, He Lives, etc. These are songs of worship.



At least with secular music, I can sort it out much easier.



However, I spend much of my day in silence, or listing to the Word of God over the internet from places like intouch.org, where Dr. Stanley has stored his sermons that he's broadcast for the past 4 years.



In the car, I listen to talk radio on 'family talk', xm's 170 where I can hear the Bible answer man on the way home from work live, or for the drive to work I listen to our local Salem radio affiliate to grab Dr. Stanley's morning radio broadcast.



If I'm with others, well, I'm listening to easy listening music or classical.

[GodsSamus]

Are you a Christian music junkie? Is the only time you hear Christian music at church?

I have a gazillion Christian tapes and only a few secular tapes. :-)

[deetersdee]

I said most of the time but lately I haven't been as much.
I like Eden's Bridge for soft listening. POD for when I just want to scream. YEAH LORD!!
and anything else I can clap to.

[HisLilyWhitePrincess]

There is no in between "only at church" and "most of the time" I don't always listen to it. I listen to a bunch of country to,but I also don't only listen to it at church

[ScarletWitch]

i'm more of a rock n' roll kind of girl

[ani]

At church.

[skipper]

Contemperary Christian is what keeps me up beat

[AnDr3000]

whooo! i'm glad alot of people listen to christian music most of the time.
i think that the Christian music industry is highly underrated. there are tons of gifted Christian artists out there. i'm glad for those that are highly respected by the secular listeneres yet uncompromising their values. to those artists, i say. rock on.

but there will be a time coming soon when music glorifying Christ will reach the top of the charts. and stay there for a while.
im hopin to be a part of the wagon when that happens.

[~Lady Trekki~]

Yeah...Christian music is pretty much all I listen to...unless someone else has something different on their radio.

[5stringJeff]

I listen to about half and half. It really depends on my mood.

[flaglady]

I have all my favourite tracks on my mp3 player and it plays in my car constantly. Then it gets played at work - we've lots of Pentacostal Christians in the operating theatre were I work - and they all like to listen to my collection of music. Then I listen to it (as I am now) whilst I'm on my pc!
List includes Delirious, SonicFlood, Matt Redman, Brian Doerksen, Lindell Cooley.
I liked Buddy Holly and The Animals in my youth so maybe that's what accounts for it now!;)

[ce58]

I LOVE Christian music. Favorites include: DC Talk, Barlow Girl, Matthew West(I saw him in concert for FREE) and Superchick

[Stacey]

I like it a lot. I just need to listen to it more. Hear the gospel!

[FLANDIDLYANDERS]

Never. So I can hear the Gospel!

[immersedingrace]

Mostly listen to Christian music and have quite a CD collection.

Blessings

[jul7246]

I voted "most of the time". I gave up almost completelyon listening to secular music this summer,but i still have some favorites there,too =) As far as i know,in Russia Christian music is either praise and worship(i'm in the PW team in my church) or rock(sorry,but i hate this style..=/) So i'm trying to find western christian music and i find that i like it =)

[Brooke4Jesus]

I dont really have a sterio because it got stolen from my car and my radio/sterio for my room doesnt work. so when i do get to listen to music it is always christian music but I mostly sing and play guitar instead.

[Augustine_Was_Calvinist]

Not enough options in the poll. It appears "Christian music", means "contemporary Christian music", which I listen to very little of. I do listen to the old hymns of the faith though.

[FLANDIDLYANDERS]

Christian music sucks.
Just my opinion.

[Maja]

Actually, even though I answered "most of the time"...It's really somewhere between that and "only at Church". :eek:

Most of contemporary "Christian music", isn't even written by "Christians". When the music biz found out what a profitable market the "Christian" market is, they put lots of songwriters to work. Too much of it has bad theology and is long of fluff and short on substance. That's why I stick with the old hymns of the faith, especially those that came out of the Reformation. Now they have substance, and are teaching tools for good theology.

Part of the greatest commandment is to love God with our minds, something that is lost on many these days. :cry:

Thats a great list. Add, "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God", "Peace Like a River", and the list goes on and on.

[If Not For Grace]

It's really somewhere between that and "only at Church". :eek:

Me too, But i did not even vote.

[LILIVIWA]

Wow that was a great site, especially for my brother who is writing christian songs and chrous for the youth felloship in church.

[2LivIsChrist]

It's the only music i listen to. Ive only had 2 secular cds in my life, not including "Old McDonalds". I love christian music, or rather the meanings and lyrics behind the music.

[Lisa0315]

I listen to non-Christian music usually when I am cleaning. Sometimes, I turn regular music on when I am going down the road with my teenagers. Usually when I am alone driving to work, I listen to Christian music exclusively, and I ams singing at the top of my lungs too!:D

[Lake]

I don't listen to it because I can't find anything in my taste of music.

[edb19]

Didn't vote because none of the answers really apply to me. I listen to it more than just at church - but it isn't all of or even most of the time. Thank goodness for The White Horse Inn and sermonaudio.com - they generally provide me with good listening material.

Sadly - as Christian music has become more popular many performers have become more worldly. Just because a Christian performs it doesn't mean that it's Christian music. There's lots of "Christian" music out there that is almost heretical, but that's a whole other topic. I just try to be really discerning, I like Christian music that's God centered as opposed to man centered. I also avoid the whole "Jesus is my boyfriend" stuff.

[WestieLover]

95% of the time I listen to Christian music. The other stuff really depresses me, especially the music of the current generation. I like some seclular music, oldies, some 80's rock.

[SpokenFor2005]

MercyMe's lyrics have quite a bit of scripture in them when you listen... their guys are extremely Christ-centered and focused in P/W songs. They are Christian rock but more of a Texas-blues based sort of rock, not hard rock. :clap:

And we've ALL heard "I Can Only Imagine". (Hey, it wasn't their fault if the media's overplayed it to death... no pun intended... but I still love it :amen: )

Speaking of hymns! Their lead singer, Bart Millard, just released a CD of hymns that is amazingly beautiful... I bought a copy for my 83-yr old Mom and she just loves it. This is not a woman who is easy to please! :D

Next time you're in a store take a listen if you get a chance. :)

[edb19]

And we've ALL heard "I Can Only Imagine".

Overplayed - maybe, but you're right - it is a great song.

[godisgr8]

I listen to christian music only.

[whsbandmom]

We have a great ststion here in the grandstrand area of SC its HIS 88.3 FM

[Quentin]

I only listen to it when I'm with my fellow Church members and at Church. I am a country boy personally.

[artaxbombadil]

I don't know much about contemporary Christian music, but I like a lot of hymns.

[RN4CHRIST]

I listen to alot of contempory Christian. I lke Carmen( saw him in concert last month and all I can say is AWESOME!), Newsboys, Tobymac, Micheal W Smith, ect. I do listen to secular music also. I like Southern Rock and late 70's early 80's style.

[GEO4CHRIST]

I listen to christian music all the time. The only time I really listen to secular music now is when Im with my friends who do.

[PastorJason]

Every Sunday at church, every time I hum a hymn, and Wednesdays when I walk past choir practice.

[FLANDIDLYANDERS]

Never.

[3kidsmom]

We listen to a lot of Praise & Worship songs in the car. And songs are a great way to help the kids remember their Bible verses.

[cierra]

My husband is the bass player in a Christian band called N2arms, so most of the time for me!! I like Third Day, Shane and Shane, Mute Math, Jason Morant, church hymns, and much much more!!!

[ummidrinkcherrycoke]

Almost never......I'd like to listen to it more often but most of the christian music thats out right now is really corny

[12volt_man]

Outside of one or two artists, I refuse to listen to Christian music.

[ALASKACHICK10]

I mostly listen to Christian Music.. but some of the Christian music coming out is driving me NUTS!! so yeah.. mostly I listen to what i am in the mood for...

[Oblivious]

Techno is pretty much all I listen to anymore.

I've never been into Christian music...:sorry:

[andrewclements]

I pretty much only ever listen to Christian music but there's a lot of variety out there. Christian rock would be my thing!!!:thumbsup:

[Witness Of His Love]

My husband listens to the old gospel music on the car radio, kind of country music-like which I don't like. It's irritating to be riding in the car with him but I've tolerated it for years and will do so for years more - it's a small thing to do for him.

I listen to secular music but it's very quieting New Age type music such as Enya and Trance - both types sooth my spirit. As well, I enjoy classical music.

[Kalibeth]

I love listening to music that talks about Jesus. I listen to christian music all the time.


Christ's Love To All, Kalibeth

[grrltoangl]

klove is the best!!

[Rome]

I listen to it all the time

[ArmouredSaint]

I really don't listen to it unless at a funeral or something.Doesn't appeal to me.

[Quentin]

I listen to secular music but it's very quieting New Age type music such as Enya and Trance - both types sooth my spirit. As well, I enjoy classical music.

Same here. Christian music is ok when your in the mood for it. I like silence a lot too.

[JCRocks]

I listen to it all the time....that is when I get a chance to listen to music

[Followers4christ]

I voted Most of the time.I mostly listen to Christian music but some times i listen to some heavy metal.God Bless

[firestar]

A couple of times a week

[Jessie87]

It's the only music I listen to

[cygnusx1]

with my ears :D

[crusader4peace]

i would say most of the time. i love it.

[GlendaJoanne]

I listen to Christian Music every day.. It makes the day go so much better.. because it asjusts my attitude for the day.. It draws me close to God.. opens my ears to hear the plans God has for my day..

I wake up to it when my alarm goes off.. right now I have a cd on it from Josh Young - Praise & Worship with John Paul Jackson..

I have been enjoying prophetic worship lately.. draws me right into the presence of the Lord..

I usually listen to Cloud by Day by JoAnn McFatter as i make breakfast & do my morning chores.

At work, I listen to Christian Music that I have in my Windows Media Library..

Sometimes I go over to my church at lunchtime.. to wave flags in Praise & Worship.. as I listen to something prophetic.. Just purchased Temple Dance andother JoAnn McFatter CD.. He has me dancing.. me.. with 2 left feet & all.. Our God is Mighty.. Nothing is impossible for Him..

I listen at night when I walk on my treadmill.. i go longer & easier when I listen..

Music encourages me.. It is an integral part of my walk with the Lord..

[Into_the_light]

I listen to Hangnail, Skillet, P.O.D., Day of Fire, Kutless, Thrid Day, Mercy Me, Jars of Clay, Sonicflood, and Evanesence. (Evanesence is only sorta christian music) I listen to christian music more than I listen to non-christian music. I like the way these bands sing about God without losing that awesome rock out feeling.

[imastarforhim]

I don't own anything but Christian music

[Dawn Marie]

Almost every day. =)

In fact, right now I am listening to Michael W. Smith.

[phoenixx]

i listen to it more then nost of my friends, but i listen to other stuff too, i like upbeat stuff

[lollipop686]

I get songs stuck in my head all the time, so I don't want to fill it with garabage. I know not all secular music is garabage, but I don't like to take chances. Christian music fills my head with good, clean thoughts rather than singing and thinking about things I shouldn't be. Remember, fornication is a sin and sometimes music makes you feel a "little horny".

[lollipop686]

i listen to it more then nost of my friends, but i listen to other stuff too, i like upbeat stuff

Have you ever heard Lacrae, Grits, KJ 52, or T-Bone? They're all Christian artists, and they're VERY upbeat.

[beehoney]

My music collection is virtually all Christian music.

[flutekat56]

I listen to it sometimes, when I'm in the car with my parents or some of my friends, or when I've had a really bad day and I just need to wind down.

[FiRePrOoF_bUnNy]

Most of the time really.. switchfoot, pillar, kutless, Hillsong... :) its better than secular music!

[God4Gives]

Technically neither of those options suited me. I listen to a blend of Christian and other popular musics, it just depends on the song I want to listen to, or if I'm in a light hearted mood.

[fuffington]

I said most of the time, i do like sum secular artists(Evanescense)

[justanobserver]

I picked "only at church" and I dont go to church. Some, mainly the classic hymnals (Rock of Ages, Rugged Cross, etc) are the only ones I do enjoy when I use to attend church.

[tel0004]

I would say about 95% of the time. I also listen to yanni, hootie and the blowfish, and metallica.

[fifi]

christian music is the only music i listen to because if not how can i call my self a christion anyway. we can not serve God and the Devil just cant work:)

[Selznak]

I listen mainly to Christian music although there are a good number of secular bands that I enjoy as well.

[clemi55]

Most Christian contemporary music is just a lame ripoff of secular music.

[stardf29]

I voted "Most of the time", but really, I listen to pretty much every single type of music genre, and Christian Music just happens to be one of them. It's also one of the types of music that I have a relatively large amount of in my collection.

Although only a portion of that music is contemporary Christian music. A lot of it is non-secular Christmas music, and another good portion is... well... children's songs. Yes, I listen to children's songs at age 17 and in college...

*sings "I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart..."*

[1cutemonki]

I only listen to Christian music. Why fill your head(which is part of your body, which is the temple of God) with garbage?

[ChrisinMI]

My preference is Christian music but when I am in car without CD's and my local Christian station has endless talk shows on...I sometimes listen to oldies and country.

[ChrisinMI]

It is the only music that does nto ever corrupt.

I have a baptist friend that gave me this multipage handout from a sermon that they had on the dangers of Christian Rock...that it is not from God. I do not agree with this stance...but found it very interesting that Christians actually feel that way. I can't imagine Satan pushing...some of the lyrics that the songs contain.

[Levi44]

I listen to the Bible Broadcasting Network all the time! It is just awesome! :amen: :clap: :amen:

[brittanyinwonderland]

I listen to christian music every day.

[MaddiesDad]

I don't but have a like for Petra.I have a cd of theirs.

[jennistout]

One summer about 3 years ago I realized I had gone the whole summer without listening to anything but Christian music so I gave all my secular cds away and now all I listen to is Christian music.

[Swede]

A lot, I would say every day. The last couple of years I've listened a lot to Christian music, "rediscovered it" so to speak and now there are some Christian artists that I really love such as Third Day :thumbsup:

[rfprewitt]

I hate Christmas...I love Christ, but I really hate Christmas

[Moluku]

Majority of what I own is Christian with a little secular music mixed in.

[destinyhope]

most of the time

[GreyWing]

Only at church and maybe on the rare occasion when that's the station my mum is listening to in the car. Otherwise I can't really stand it.

[sjpianoprincess]

I pretty much listen to Christian music all the time.

[WintarNaht]

I listen to almost all Christian music with the exception of rap, pop, and commercialized rock.
Mostly metal, screamo, indie rock, synthpop, industrial, old alt-rock, and techno
The mainstream band I listen to most frequently isMannheim Steamroller. Man, they are cool.

[HollyHobbie]

I listen to pretty much all Christian, though ocassionally I will listen to some secular easy listening music ! The Love song type !

There is a lady DJ named Delilah who is a born again christian but works for an easy listening station called WDOK here in Ohio ! I really enjoy listening too !

She is very wise and compassionate and does what ever she can to incorperate christian messages into her show !.

She has a great testimony !, But I mostly listen to Christian music !

[gal4God]

Most of the time

[JesusFreak78]

I'm not a big music listener, but I try listen to Christian music as much as possible.

[Miriyah]

It used to be that I thought the only variations of Christian music saounded like hymns, or were classical music, or bluegrass style gospel. None of these appealed to me, so I didn't listen much. Nowadays, there are so many different styles of christian music available, I don't see how anyone can make half and effort and NOT find something they like.
I have a tape of various contemporary christian music that always plays in the car. I would much rather my daughters know all the word to El Shaddai and I Can Only Imagine than anything by Britney Spears or 50 Cent.

[Phoenixtears1]

Favorite Christian groups being ZOEgirl, Barlowgirl, MercyMe, and Newsboys.

[LegacyOfLove]

I rarely listen to Christian music. I have gone through cycles with it though. Sometimes it was all I would listen to - then I got back into listening to my favorite secular music (from the 80's). Now, I don't listen to much music at all - but when I do it's either Christian or my old 80's favorites. It just depends on what kind of mood I am in and what I am doing at the time (cleaning house, driving the car, exercising, etc.).

[greenjeans]

most of the time

[GodisGreat79]

The only music I will listen to is Christian Music.

[luvmydaughters]

Just went to a third day concert this past weekend..it rocked!
I went to that concert also. It was fantastic and not "boring" at all!

[luvmydaughters]

My whole family listens to mostly Christian music. We do, however, occassionaly listen to other music. We went to the David Crowder/Third Day concert together and it was fantastic!

[12volt_man]

They don't make Christian music in the styles I like and what is out there is pretty bad.

Outside of Randy Stonehill and maybe one or two other artists, I don't listen to Christian music at all.

[CardinalBaseball]

I only listen to it at church.

[PorcelainHeart]

all the time.

[Carl Rapel]

the only time i dont is when i have no choice of what is being played (on the bus) or if it is in a television show

[spitfire07]

Yeah I listen to most of the time. I guess it depends on how I feel.

[PorcelainHeart]

it's my favorite type of music.

[Savedthroughfaith]

The only other music that doesn't make me sick because of the messages is Country - and now-a-days that's pushing it.

[Jennie726]

I would have to say that I listen to Christian music 90% of the time. If I'm not listening to Christian music, I listen to soft rock or classical. But Christian music is by far my favorite! I love how uplifted I feel while listening to it. I listen to worship songs and I just start worshipping God! Even in the car! lol

[Jesus_is_my_!Hero!]

I love christian music. Tait, TobyMac,Superchic, Sarah Brendel , EVERYONE!(well not sixpence none the richer)

[HawaiianTropicalDude]

Classical Music corrupts ??????:confused: It is the only music that does nto ever corrupt.

[rocketboy]

its all i listen too

[Mskedi]

I don't generally listen to contemporary Christian music simply because there aren't many bands in that category that I like or can even tolerate.

Most classical music I listen to is religious in nature, so I get a lot of that in. And then I like the musical "Godspell", so I suppose that counts. :)

[Lecarde]

Blindside = awesome.
I listen to all kinds of music. I own both Christian and secular music.
Refusing to listen to secular music is like refusing to read a book because its not the bible. Or the newspaper. Or whatever. Its just dumb imo.

[luvmydaughters]

I listen to a Contemporary Christian radio station most of the time. If they are having a special talking program, I listen to pop rock.

[YourNameIsHoly]

I listen to Christian music whenever I get the chance to.
