A Voice From the Wilderness
Lone Trumpet is a small, independent publication written for ordinary Christians who still believe the gospel is true and that it has something to say to every corner of life — the church, the home, and the public square.
The voice here is one of invitation, not condemnation. The Christian faith is not a club for the worthy; it is a hospital for the unworthy, of whom the writer counts himself first. But the gospel is not improved by being softened. The cross is hard, and grace is free, and both of those things are true at the same time.
Articles that read today’s news through the light of Scripture — the events, the controversies, the moral questions the moment is asking. A Christian response, written plainly, without slogans, and without anger. Slow to speak, kind in tone, and uncompromising on the matters Christ Himself was uncompromising on.
Free, stand-alone software for prayer, study, and the small practical work of church life. No subscriptions, no accounts, no advertising. They are simply gifts.
Lone Trumpet is the work of one man: Pastor Lyvers, ordained in 1995, holder of a Doctor of Divinity, with credentials in pastoral ministry and Christian counseling. There is no staff, no editorial board, no public-relations desk. There is one pastor at one keyboard, trying to say one thing plainly.
The byline on the articles is “A Voice From the Wilderness” — the phrase John the Baptist used of himself, quoting Isaiah 40:3. The name “Lone Trumpet” is the same idea: a single horn, sounded clearly, in a noisy age. Pastor Lyvers founded the publication to offer one steady voice from the wilderness — for readers who still believe the gospel is true, has something to say to the public square, and is best said plainly.
