Traditional & Sacred Radio: Real Alternative Music
(Links last checked: 30 January 2012)
Bible Truth For You Radio is a selection of links to online radio stations that play traditional, sacred Christian music and hymns, plus (for variety) several easy listening and ‘other genre’ stations. During the time we listened to the Christian stations they played suitable material for the believer, but we can’t vouch for what they play beyond that, and don’t vouch for the secular stations at all.
We don’t list Contemporary Christian Music stations (see here to read why). We are aware that a number of Bible-believers have convictions concerning certain types of music, and we are sympathetic and in general agreement. We also allow that not every Christian arrives at the same conclusions about these issues, and ask that every person make their own decisions on the matter for themselves. No-one who might be offended at certain radio stations or genres of music should attempt to listen to them.
To Listen:
Given so many different playback systems, browsers, smart phone systems, etc, there isn’t any one-instructuction-fits-every-situation we can give. Try using the listening links we have provided in the station banners; if they don’t work for you, you can follow the website links to the stations themselves and try there.
Christian Radio
This group of stations, as far as we know, are conservative doctrinally and play traditional, sacred Christian music and hymns.

Mixed Bag Radio Stations
The Mixed Bag Radio Stations are those stations that carry music (CCM) that some Christians would avoid as worldly, yet also carry music, talk and interviews that is of value to the biblical Christian, hence the label "mixed bag". Anyone who would be offended by such a station should, of course, not make use of them.

"Playing yesterday's music. today."
"The nostalgic sound of radio as it used to be heard from the 1930’s to the 1960s, with some attention given to music outside those parameters provided it is of good lyrical and melodic quality and of an evergreen standard which falls kindly on the ear. Many listeners attracted to this type of sound also value the light classics, operetta, ballads and musical comedy and there is a place for these genres too, in the Golden Days’ range of musical styles."

Things to Note:
1. The inclusion of radio station links on this page by BTFY doesn't imply our endorsement of their content or the Christian stations doctrinal positions. If you know that a listed "Christian" station has a non-biblical position or is the station of a cult or liberal denomination, please write us; we want to know about it.
2. Bible Truth For You does not approve, endorse or have control over any advertising produced by, heard through, or associated with any of the radio stations.
3. Any radio station may play something inappropriate just at the very time you tune in. This can happen; you may like to try again a little later and see if the general music choices are right for you.
4. Links may fail over time; we've given up asking users to tell us when this happens because no-one ever has; just try another station and we'll check out the links once in a while to see if they still work.
5. We don't receive any sort of payback for providing these links; they are provided for the blessing of our visitors. We hope that you'll come back and explore the Bible Truth For You Blog.
