The Difference Between Chants and Music
Alan Ives
Alan Ives, born 1950, died N/A, is an American preacher and evangelist known for his work with Concord & Harmony Ministries, a conservative Christian outreach he operates alongside his wife, Ellen Ives, based out of Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Likely born in the Midwest, Ives committed his life to ministry early on, combining preaching with a passion for music that glorifies God. As part of Concord & Harmony, he travels to churches across the United States, delivering sermons and presenting teachings on topics like the spiritual significance of music, often drawing from scripture such as 1 Peter 5:8-9 to distinguish between "good" and "bad" influences in Christian life. His ministry is affiliated with Wyldewood Baptist Church, where he is listed as an evangelist, reflecting his broader role in Baptist circles. Alan Ives’ work with Concord & Harmony emphasizes traditional Christian values, featuring vocal performances and a variety of instruments—harp, guitar, clarinet, saxophone, and more—played by him and Ellen to enhance their message. His sermons, such as one recorded in 2019 at Grace Missionary Baptist Church in Ontario, Canada, showcase his straightforward preaching style, focusing on biblical fidelity and practical faith. The ministry also offers recordings and resources, like CDs and cassettes, to churches, aiming to bless congregations with both music and spoken word.

I could say it kind of like this right now. It depends upon how fast you want to get to New York. Okay, if you'll come on and share some stuff here with us. The Lord promised that he would come again and receive us unto himself. Those of us that have trusted the Lord. Someone wrote a song called Coming Again and we'll sing that. Coming again, I know he's coming again. I know he's coming for me, soon we shall see. Down from the heights of heaven above, he's coming again. I know he's coming again. A glorious message to know that Christ is coming again. Christ is coming again. Someday to earth the Lord will return to catch away his pride from the earth. Only the Savior Christ will arise to meet the Lord in the skies. Coming again, I know he's coming again. I know he's coming for me, soon we shall see. Down from the heights of heaven above, he's coming again. I know he's coming again. A glorious message to know that Christ is coming again. Christ is coming again. Someday the trump of God will resound and all the dead in Christ will be found. Then all the saints of God will arise to meet the Lord in the skies. In the skies. And he's coming again. I know he's coming again. I know he's coming for me, soon we shall see. Down from the heights of heaven above, he's coming again. I know he's coming again. A glorious message to know that Christ is coming again. Christ is coming again. Years ago, we traveled with our children. They were quite young and we brought them with us without the thought of having them sing. And a preacher or two said, we advertise the Singing Ives family. I said, well, here we are. And they said, no, no, your children, they get by for free or what? They just go along for the ride? And I said, well, yeah. Well, you ought to have them singing. I thought about it. I went to the pool. And I said, it's called Water from the Rock. That is what everyone needs. We also know that Jesus is that smithing rock. And so that's what this song is about. And without our children's praises, we will sing the Lord's song, Water from the Rock. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶. ¶.
