The FLOT Line Show

The FLOT Line Show

Welcome to The FLOT Line, with your host, Rick Hughes. For the next 30 minutes, you will be inspired, motivated, and educated, but never manipulated. FLOT is an acronym for Forward Line of Troops. The show teaches principles from the Bible and focuses on God’s 10 unique problem-solving devices. If you choose to learn and apply them, they will act as a main line of resistance in your soul, a FLOT line, preventing the outside sources of adversity from becoming the inside pressure of stress in your soul. The intent is to give you information to help you identify the plan of God for your life.

You have the right to privacy as you live the Christian way of life. Others should keep their nose out of your business, and you are mandated by God to do the same. “He who guards his mouth and his tongue, guards his soul from trouble” (Prov 21:23). You can destroy your life by running your mouth. During His time on earth, the Lord Jesus Christ set the example for how we are to live. He expected privacy from the disciples. “Then th...

It’s very easy to be misled by dynamic personalities in the Christian world. Let the Word of God and God the Holy Spirit convict you of sin, not the doubtful things others use to manipulate you. God’s Word and the Holy Spirit guide you through time to eternity. Living the Christian life requires you to understand the mechanics including God’s 10 problem-solving devices. Spirituality is based on God’s grace provisions, not some tabo...

Biblical truth exposing worldly thinking, spiritual distraction, and God’s plan. A cosmic recruiter is someone who has been lured by Satan’s counterfeits to the spiritual life and, through human viewpoint thinking, seeks to pull Christians away from God’s Word and spiritual growth. Using Scripture and real-life examples, Rick Hughes explains how this system of worldly thinking captures attention, reshapes priorities, and diverts be...

God gives you power resources to use in this life. “For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline [a sound mind]” (2 Tim 1:7). The Holy Spirit escorts and empowers you through time to eternity. “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you” (Acts 1:8). The Christian life can’t function without the filling of the Holy Spirit. You must be filled with the Holy Spirit and use the p...

Growing old is not easy but it is a unique time to shine as a spiritual influencer. Make a pulpit out of your circumstances to re-present Jesus Christ to others. This is why you’re still alive, to have a spiritual impact. Focus on the Lord and His provisions for you, not on your difficulties. Until your Father calls you to the Home Office, redeem the time He’s allotted you. Wake up seeking God’s favor and thanking Him for another d...

Who is your authority? Is it the world, the flesh and the devil, or is it God's Word? Many never fulfill their Christian life. They never understand what God has for them. These Christians get caught up in chasing the details of life with the lures of the world and get into a frantic search for happiness. They allow their sin nature to take control and it becomes the authority in their life instead of the authority of Scripture. “D...

Communion is a test of what you remember about Jesus Christ’s saving work as you partake of the bread and the cup. The bread represents Christ’s virgin birth, impeccability, hypostatic union, celebrity ship, and how He removed the barrier between God and man. The cup represents sanctification being set apart to God through the death, burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, propitiation, redemption, and reconciliation. Ne...

Anger is a terrible sin. An angry, bitter person allows their emotions to control them, rather than thought. Anger is never an isolated sin. It brings a flood of other sins. “Wrath is fierce and anger is a flood [torrent]” (Prov 27:4). When you let your temper take control you grieve the Holy Spirit and drive away the people who love you the most. The Word of God gives you a different way to live. It’s called the mind of Christ, li...

Your character is determined by your thoughts, habits and priorities. You are what you think. “For as he thinks within himself, so he is” (Prov 23:7). God wants you to think with a divine viewpoint by acquiring the mindset of Christ. The habit we need to grow to spiritual maturity is to stay filled with the Holy Spirit and feed daily on the Word of God under a qualified pastor who can shepherd your soul. How you use your volition i...

Are your daily choices aligned with God’s direction or self-will? What does it really mean to live in God’s will? In this episode of The FLOT Line, Rick Hughes challenges believers to examine whether their daily decisions reflect humility and obedience to God’s Word or self-justifying arrogance. Drawing from Isaiah, Romans, and key New Testament passages, he explains the crucial difference between being in God’s plan and following ...

Three of the sins God hates the most are verbal sins: a lying tongue, a false witness and one who spreads strife among others. Lying is a sin. Lying mocks God because God is truth and He knows your thoughts and actions. He knows when you are lying. “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap” (Gal 6:7). Satan or any person that lies is a manipulator. They try to manipulate others to cover...

Each one of us has an appointed destiny with death. “A time to give birth and a time to die” (Eccl 3:2a). God does not make mistakes when He calls someone home. He knows the time, the manner, and the place of every person's departure. As a believer you step out of time and into eternity—it is a promotion to Heaven. “For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain” (Phil 1:21).

The Lord Jesus Christ gave the disciples an amazing farewell discourse to prepare them for their mission. You need to understand these things for your mission as well: this is not your home (it is in heaven), the ministry of the Holy Spirit, the power of prevailing prayer, how to truly love God, and that The Lord Jesus Christ will never abandon you.

“These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and your joy may be made full” (John 15:11). These things refer to lessons Jesus Christ taught His disciples the night before He was crucified. It must have been an amazing Bible class! Jesus packed a tremendous amount of information into His last class with them—the information they would need to persevere in the devil’s world. Lessons we also need to learn and apply...

We glorify God by executing the Christian life under the filling of the Holy Spirit. “For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever, Amen” (Rom 11:36). We are to glorify God in everything we do. One way to glorify God is to ascribe honor to His essence. He is sovereign, righteous, justice, love, immutable, veracity, eternal life, omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent. God is called the Father...

Christian activism is religious arrogance that substitutes spiritual growth and impact with the goal of cleaning up society’s depravity. You are not here to fight the perversions of society, straighten out the sinner, or clean up the devil’s world. “For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him” (John 3:17). What influences the course of history is the impact of the ma...

Worship of God must align with His established standard. This episode explains God’s established standard for worship as taught by the Lord Jesus Christ. True worship requires a relationship with God, the filling of the Holy Spirit, biblical knowledge and understanding, and obedience. Emotion, ritual, and religious performance alone do not meet God’s standard.

The Christian poet is a doer of God’s Word and becomes a living epistle to the world—an expresser of God’s grace and forgiveness through thoughts and actions. “You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men” (2 Cor 3:2-3). When you reflect God’s policy of grace it will attract interest from those who observe your demeanor. “Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works and glo...

You can’t understand God unless you diligently get to know Him. This comes by learning God’s Word from a pastor who accurately teaches it. God reveals Himself through the Bible. Learning and applying God’s Word is how you glorify God. “Let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me who exercises lovingkindness, justice and righteousness on earth; for I delight in these things, declares the Lord” (Jer 9:24).

If the current and future generations have no humility, they will destroy this country. Humility is in fact teachability. Since humility is not inherited at birth, it must be learned. For a young child, the home is the classroom where the mother and father enforce humility and restrain the child’s sinful nature through training and discipline. Get into the minds of your children and grandchildren while you can. Teach them about God...
