How often do you listen to Christian music?

[UncleRicky]

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

Actually, I find most Christian music boring. Hopefuly, that will change when I get to glory. Probably because the music will be quite decent. You know, more than 3 chords, maybe even a modulation once in a while. And spiraling harmonies!

Don't get me started.

Cheers,
Rick

I listen to get when I get the chance at school,home,car,church, everywhere, there was a time I would play it while I sleep still kinda do. Where I live we call it Gospel Music some call it church music. But I love Gospel music but there are so many types of Gospel music like : Southern,Black,Country,Catholoc, and many more I listen to Black Gospel. Like Mary Mary, Fred Hammond, Shekinah Glory, Kirk, Donnie Mc Clurkin, and many more:)

[~Beauty_from_Pain~]

Every day!

[Godisgr8r]

I don't listen to anything else.

[JessicaC]

I never listen to Christian music... I dont know, something about it just turns me off. I love Jesus and am completely committed to him, but is music non-Christian if it isn't labelled Christian? NO WAY!!! I love the music I listen to because I feel like it displays better talent sometimes and more real lyrics.

Here is something to think about... If God is in all things, then is there really a difference in "secular" and "christian" .... I dont believe there is. Sometimes those considered "non-christian" artists are way better musicians, but that doesn't mean they aren't "of God." God is in all because he created us... That means he is present in all music...

[schwarzes_schaf]

don't listen to christian music any more.

[jbran555]

I LOVE CHRISTIAN MUSIC SO MUCH!! its the best. I listen to some other stuff too but its the main thing I listen too.

Does anyvody know of any christian music that is sort of punk or classic rock like?? this would be very appreciated

[Birdy_for_Christ]

I love Christian music!:) Both the traditional hymns and contemporary. I listen to them all the time. It helps me praise God and is uplifting.:thumbsup:

[Peaceman]

I listen to Neal Morse who is a christian....don't like praise and worship tho

[christian78]

If you throw out our radios and you never get to buy any new music,you would be stuck with the couple 100 christian music Cd's for the rest of your life.

[mattsmom]

I listen to it most of the time. I usually have KLOVE playing in the background all day.

[ChasingADream]

Most of the time.

[lildeepmind]

I cant say I listen to a lot of it... but there are very new christian artists, in which the songs are really nice... they have inspirational positive lyrics and nice music to it.

People usually turn away when they hear "christian music" thinking it's all just worship... but like i just recently heard a new song by Brian littrell of the backstreet boys "Welcome HOme" and it really is nice, even non-christians would appreciate the message it sends.

I dont know what people's opinions are about artists who are new to the christian scene, but i really did enjoy his new song... and last year's remake "in christ alone"

[Qidron]

I like music period, but the reason I like music is because it expresses how we feel, and How I feel about God is most important to me. Sometimes I'm sad, or confused, or joyful....these are all incorporated in the music I make or listen and praise or worship to.

But secular music is also great and if I like what I hear I will listen to it. The world's music lets us in on what's going on in the world... which is helpful since we live here...and I find myself usually in prayer no matter what I'm listening to.

[diana_ch]

Just as one must feed the body with healthy food to grow lean and athletic-- so must one listen/read/speak/think upon Chirst and His goodness for their soul/spirit to grow stronger
:)
Totally agree :clap:

[GordonSlocum]

Now I know I am a normal Christian, but as many of us here is the deep south the only Christian music there is - is Southern Gospel, and a little blue grass Gospel too, mixed in wiht an occasional traditional hymn.

[gennfamily]

Today the Christian media industry is so fresh and filling with an exciting breadth of style and relevence for every Christian audiance. It is becoming a viable evangelical tool as well as a powerful means of staying open and focused on the Spirit. Praise and thanks to the Lord God for this blessing.

I agree with you totally...too pop music oriented, and I see secular country and rock music going this way as well. There is definately a need for Christian music to branch out into being more unique and different than the music of the world, like Christians ought to be!

[jess91877]

Now I know I am a normal Christian, but as many of us here is the deep south the only Christian music there is - is Southern Gospel, and a little blue grass Gospel too, mixed in wiht an occasional traditional hymn.

I might like Southern Gospel and Blue Grass Christian music a lot more than the pop oriented Christian music up north...something for me to look into!

[brinny]

..every chance I get..

[yunguns3]

I listen to Southern Gospel 99.9% of the time. And, though I'm in the South as well, even if there was more Contemporary and such, I'd still be a Southern Gospel man.

I think you'll be glad you did. You can listen online if you'd like. Go to: joyfm.org.

[Babiie_deE]

Often:)

[loavesandfishes]

Since no one else has comments I'll post. There is a ton of good, talented Christian music out there. Check out a Family Christian store. Some people have this false idea that it's "borning". Even though I don't think worship music is boring I like heavier faster paced things that really get my fired up for God. Give me a little E.SO, Project 86 or something like that. :)

[FredSmith]

I listen to Gospel music at least once a day. We don't have it on the radio here but I have a lot of cds.

There is also a show called Stained Glass Bluegrass that we listen to once a week.

[Christian_Babe234]

I voted most of the time because I listen to it every once and a while during the day. I listen to other music more though.:thumbsup:

[handmaiden97]

I love listening to christin worship, but I also love country

[one_way]

...christian music is the only stuff i listen too...

[newbeliever02072005]

most of the time :)

[eaglex]

I prefer the old hymns and songs myself. Not the contermpary music of today.

[littlecoda]

@ church
okay though I like this song called "Jesus take the wheel" though:P

[Miracle Storm]

It's the only music I listen to. Well, except for the songs that come on my kids movies that will occasionally get stuck in my head!LOL
Christian music is very spiritual and is a form of worship, and I believes draws us closer to God.
I believe some of the other music out there today and old rock too, is demonic. I can literally feel it when I hear it and it disgusts me.:sick:<remember, I said some not all.:)
God bless and guide.

[OneGoodReason]

Are you a Christian music junkie? Is the only time you hear Christian music at church?
Being in a Christian Band I tend to listen to Christian music. I do listen to all different styles of music because I write music and I am trying to come up with a different sound...put a little bit of everything into it! Shake it up a bit-plus I am a youth leader so I try to listen to what the kids in my youth group listen to so that I can apply it to situations in the bible and also help them see that Christian music can be just as good as non-Christian music, or better in my opinion!

[cathmomof3]

Only when I feeled moved to listen to it...usually a few times a week and then of course every Sunday at Mass.

[seamonster]

it's what I listen to most of the time

[AmandaT]

I'd say about 95% of my music is Christian music, and the rest is music from bands that happen to have Christian members.

[squeak]

Most of the time - I have a lot of Christian music in my playlist and I run that on shuffle...

[stereochild]

There are so many styles of Chrisitian music today, that there is something for every taste. Sure some of it is terrible but that is not limited to christian music there are lots of non Christian music (if I could use that term) that is just as terriable.

[stealingheaven]

I listen to christian music as often as secular music, I've always got a christian cd in my cd player at home!

[BrandonGray]

I listen most of the time, depending on how much I need to get done. Right now I've been listening on CF because Im busy reading Holy Blood Holy Grail.

[Babiie_deE]

it dependz on my mood.. summtimez all daii.. summtimez onlie once a week.. :confused:

[Astrid]

No, I don't listen to Christian music, but I appreciate Christian songs by secular artists.

[plum]

i listen to it quite often, but I don't like all of it, nor do I think it should be all we listen to.

[plum]

No, I don't listen to Christian music, but I appreciate Christian songs by secular artists.
i find this answer curious... as i don't think non-Christians make Christian songs....


?

[barbaraclarke]

as often as I can

[RockChic23]

A lot of times, but some it sounds the same.

[GregoryTurner]

All the time. It's the only music I listen to. Well, I like alot of classical too. M W Smith, Mark Shultz, Third Day, alot of praise and worship, Emery, Disciple, Demon Hunter, Zao, Extol, Mortification, East West, Project 86, Pillar, Underoath, etc. you get the picture.

[Ruth~]

I really don't listen to it much.

[musicalmeg20]

Seriously, it's, like, the only music I listen to--by choice at least. Yeah, I own secular CDs, but I veeeerrrryyyy raaaarrreellyyy listen to them any more. I don't hate secular music, I just really love Christian music.

Air1 rocks!! ^_^

[heatherq17]

usually on my bus ride everyday to class I do

[sparks_will_fly]

I probably should listen to it alot more than I am.We have so many music lovers in our house,it's hard to have all the radios doing different stations but thats what we have here.

[Jasma]

A LOT but it's not the only genre i listen to.

[lyonguard]

My favorite is classic Christian but I like the new music a lot too.

[ChrisCountryGirl]

[schwarzes_schaf]

i don't listen to christian music anymore

[shauncar]

I listen to christian music 99% of the time.:cool:

[thankful4god]

My family listens to christian music most of the time. I try to not listen to the garbage on the radio. I suppose I also listen to regular children's music with my kids. Since marrying my husband I've gone away from worldly music and even more so with our two kids who will pick up things in songs very fast.

[nvrbnunloved]

I listen to CCM or praise music most of the time, although I do have a lot of mainstream music as well - I tend to listen more to my CCM :thumbsup:

[VampireLestat]

I don't listen to it that often anymore... :( Just when my mom or dad put it on...

[TabCat]

I always listen to Christian music at home and in the car, and of course church, but at work I can't.

[Quentin]

Almost never. Except when I am listening to my iPOD which has Christian music on it, I don't listen to the genre. I am a Country or Classical music person.

[madetoworship]

honestly, i listen to it anywhere i can find it. i like to listen to k-love!

[xladyfayre]

i used to listen to Christian music alot. I'm mostly into country music now, though i do still love Christian music. I love music...
so, i fall into fazes where i'll listen to certain groups alot and then i'll stop for a long time and then listen to something else. right now i'm into stacie orrico and keith urban. lol.
I acually do not like secualr music very much. i think it is the lets see how much we can use the f word music.... its not so much that i hate the word- but its like, ok, make a song where thats the only word and then u've accomplished your goal. anywho, i dont like the f word. granted there are some groups i like, like Nickelback. i love them.

[SecretBlessings]

I listen to Christian music mostly at Church. I also listen to it occassionally at home

[brinny]

As often as I can....it's a prompter to energize me and get to worshippin' n' praisin' God, our Creator of heaven n' earth, our protector and Defender, our Redeemer, the Defender and Upholder of Israel, and the One Who gave Himself for our sawwwrrry selves.

[jesusxchick]

I listen to it a lot, almost everyday. I love music by Jeremy Camp, Kirk Franklin, and 4Him. I listen to a little secular music, but nothing too drastic. There are some days where I don't listen to music at all.

[xladyfayre]

secular music is overrated and dull most of the time. theres some that is okay....but theres not too many. if i dont listen to christian its usually country, french, or jpop. i love listening to foreign while i sleep cos i wont acually sleep if i put on american.....haha, i'll sing along

[Steelerbred33]

I listen to it pretty much everyday...I only like Avalon though!

[madetoworship]

ya! i like avalon also but my mainstream is with Chris Tomlin!! K-Love is my car music forever

[smiledaily]

I listen to it sometimes.

[PhantomTorment]

I mainly listen to secular...I'm listening to Metallica right now

[xladyfayre]

i get into phases with all of my music...
i listen to christian and country but the phases are that i will buy a new cd- listen to it and then not for awhile...lol. i just bought the new Krystal Meyers cd though so i will listen to that for awhile.

[BlessedMommy05]

Yes I do listen to Christian Music most of the time. My fav music is Third Day, Passions, Mercy Me, and some individual artist such as Steven Curtis Chapman, Micheal W Smith, Steve Green.. So I do enjoy it when I can find cd's. I also listen to worship songs of all kinds and hymns.

BlessedMommy05

[drifter5]

i used to mainly listen to secular music. I now listen to ,and sing , Christian worship songs and hymns every day. I can not begin to tell you what a difference this has made to me spiritually. I know that it has brought me closer to The Lord , i know much more joy and peace, and it is helping me grow as a Christian. I also feel God's blessing for changing my daily music "habits."

[Menuet]

@ church

[AllForJesus]

i love christian musuc but i sometimes put other kinds :D

[LordLover1]

My mom ( who goes on this ) listens to Christian music, like Newsboys all the time. I have other non-Christian CDs but i don't listen to them very much any more. Actually, i never listen to them any more.

[Guitar4Christ]

I listen to it whenever i have the radio on. I guess, sometimes i listen to country.

[Breezy3]

I listen to Christian music the most and often although I do enjoy some country, etc. once in a while.

[rocketboy]

im starting to get away from in now...i don't really like it any more. It seems so un-original

[06yellowpursuit]

My option isn't up there. I only listen to it sometimes. Christian rock, not the soft music though.

[MStanhouse]

I only listen to christian because it says in God's word, What goes into a person is what comes out, so I choose to put only good things in. Michelle

[mohawk]

I am a big Michael W. Smith fan and will always cherish my Rich Mullen CD's.

[Followers4christ]

I love Christian rock music such as skillet,kutless,Pillar,Disciple,Thousand Foot Krutch,P.O.D.,Flyleaf,Seventh Day Slumber,Jeremy Camp,BarlowGirl and alot more.I listen to it everyday.God Bless :)

[drifter5]

i love listening to Christian worship music and hymns every day. I felt lead by The Holy Spirit to do this, and i find it such a blessing.

[EJXSD]

I listen to Christian music a lot here at home.

Bands like

Newsboys, MercyMe, Casting Crowns, Nevertheless, Stellar Kart, Rush of Fools, Relient K, Audio Adrenaline, Building 429, Hawk Nelson, Steven Curtis Chapman, tobyMac

[evensongcalms]

I have to say that most Christian music I've heard hasn't appealed to me.
I love music,and have found it extremely comforting and inspiring.Some of my most deeply spiritual moments have been while listening to what would generally be regarded as rock music,though of the more thoughtful kind.However the most overwhelming experience I've had was when my wife and I were in Lincoln cathedral,and the choral singing brought tears to my eyes,such was the emotional effect of it all.
More recently I have heard some contemporary Christian music that I liked,so maybe God is helping me to listen more openly.

:cool:

[KimLCMS]

I listen every day. I'm in the car a lot and I just love to hear my kids singing to the Lord.

[krys4ever]

There isn't a category for me in the poll. I listen to it sometimes, but not that often. Mainly I listen to classical music or sometimes jazz.

[ladyt28]

I listen to some daily and often it is all I listen to music-wise. It brings me peace and uplifts my spirits which is exactly what I need.

[DefenderOfJesus]

Hey everyone,
I love listen to Praise & Worship! Its AMAZING!! PRAISE GOD!!!

In Christ
Kev <>< †

[PixieSunbelle]

i've gotten sort of away from a lot of American music in general.
i will always love christian and country- but i've been into Jpop and French music. I do have my "favorites" playlist that i put on that includes everything from pop, rock, foreign and country on it. i will always love Audio Adrenaline, Point of Grace and ZoeGirl... Stacie Orrico.
i like some mainstream, but generally not. every other word is cussing and about banging someone... how boring and cruel. i like songs with messages...of course not in foreign because i dont know what they are saying but its a way out of shallow meaningless words and i can enjoy the song.
