L = Limitless atonement. O = Overflowing grace. V= Victory over sin and death. E = Everlasting life for the faithful in Christ!

I did not realize that I needed an acronym until now. As always thanks a million for all your hard work and invaluable ministry.

Dr. Flowers, I'm investigating seminary programs in preparation to put in a packet for the Army chaplain candidacy program (right now I'm active duty enlisted). Which programs stand out to you as quality programs, and are there any you would suggest avoiding?

[andrewdoesapologetics]

The PROVIDE acronym sounds like exegesis.

The TULIP acronym sounds like eisegesis.

Because He provides, in faith we can abide.

Ok.. Brother Leighton Flowers- I've been watching 👀 for a couple years now. Maybe not consistently but tuning in alot. I was raised a Jehovah's Witness but never new we were open theists until I heard James White say we were! I called HQ to ask if we were "open theist" but they told me I could only get an answer through snail mail.
I know you consistently battle Calvinism 💪 but could you do a series of shows of how Traditionalism/Provisionalism beats Open Theism? (and Armenianism? and Molonism?)
I actually thought I was a Traditionalist/Provisionalist, by listening to you, until I heard James White explicitly name Jehovah's Witnesses conception of soteriology. And HQ wouldn't answer..
If you have time it would be appreciated

I need an explanation about Malachi 1 verse 1 to 5
It makes me scared what if i am part of Esau. Here God says he hated Esau. How does one become Israel? God loves Israel. Commentators say

God promised that Edom would be permanently ruined, and that their status as “unchosen” would not change

I am confused though?

[davidasholesjr]

Great idea! Who came up with that? It's about time we have an acronym that's scriptural.
Now, I have a challenge to do a minute or two for each part of the acronym. Like, read aloud the scriptures that go with it to prove them, & maybe a brief summary.
Again, I'm very impressed that you're attempting to be so concise. This helps people who do not have a full hour-- though, it may lead them into your longer teachings, if they want to learn more. Thanks again!

Wow. This gets right to it and has Scriptural references! Thank you!

How can I know that my faith is real, genuine, and saving if it comes from my "deceitful" heart (Jeremiah 17.9) and how can I know I KNOW my imaginations are evil continuously (Genesis 6.5)??? Calvinism as everyone calls it these days is true, but I believe it should not be taught as it is taught today. God's sovereignty and election is not the gospel, per se, but Christ crucified, Christ risen, Christ LORD, Christ King, Christ Forgiver IS. Ive heard it said by a pastor on the radio (sorry don't remember, but it is a great quote): "Over the gate of heaven it reads "whosoever will"... but as we walk it and turn around and look the gate it reads: "You have not chosen me, I have chosen you." Election is a beautiful truth and the only way anyone can have assurance because it is Christ who is the author and finisher of our faith. Not Jack or Jill. Christ. BUT the gospel should be preached to everyone, everywhere... and prayers should be offered for everyone, everywhere. Calvinism is not the gospel, Jesus saving all who come to him in true faith is.

Why is your voice so low in these short ones; it's creepy, reminds me of the cliche demonic voices in TV/films that are always really low pitched.
