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.

God's Timing, Part 3 (2019) 11.05.2025 27:36
God's timing is critical in your life. You must understand His plan and how His plan works and live the spiritual life to be in sync with God's timing. “All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field. The grass withers, and the flower fails, but the Word of the Lord will endure forever. And this is the word that was preached to you.” (1 Peter 1:24-25) “As for me an...
God's Timing, Part 2 (2019) 10.05.2025 27:40
There’s a right time and a wrong time to do anything in life. A lot of critical mistakes have been made when people choose the wrong time to undertake certain events. We must make sure we are making decisions based on the best information which is the Bible. Click for Full Transcript: https://rhem.pub/gods-timing-a0c14e
God's Timing, Part 1 (2019) 09.05.2025 27:37
Change is inevitable. We may not like it, but it happens. Each event has been predetermined in God's plan. "To everything, there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heaven, a time to be born and a time to die; a time to plant and a time to pluck up that which has been planted. A time to kill and a time to heal; a time to break down and a time to build up. A time to weep and a time to...
The Power of the Gospel (2019) 08.05.2025 27:40
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life." (John 3:16) The Gospel is the good news of the saving work of Jesus Christ on the cross. The power of God is in the Gospel. The moment someone hears and believes the Gospel—faith alone in Christ alone—God seals that faith for salvation. From that one moment of fai...
Slow Learners (2019) 07.05.2025 27:45
Are you growing spiritually? Do you know more today than you did last year? Spiritual growth is a connection to the Lord. The Christian life is lived in your mind. It's lived where you think. Your soul has mentality. Your soul has volition. What you think and what you do has a tremendous impact on your life. If you don't think right, you can't do right. “Grow in the grace and the knowledge of our...
A Soul in Chaos, Part 2 (2019) 05.05.2025 27:44
Satan has a strategy against you and knows your weaknesses. Christians must understand the enemy and put on the full armor of God to stand against the cosmic system. Knowledge of the Word of God is converted into wisdom that gives you the advantage of having discernment and insight into the traps of Satan's cosmic system influences. “Satan was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in t...
A Soul in Chaos, Part 1 (2019) 04.05.2025 27:45
A Christian is never to mimic an unbeliever. Whatever the unbeliever finds to be entertaining, motivational, or stimulating is not for the Christian. We are to think and live differently. “This I say therefore and testify in the Lord that you walk not as the unbelievers walk in the vanity of their mind. (Eph. 4:17) "Let this mind be in you that was also in Christ Jesus." (Phil. 2:5) Click for Full...
America, the Land of the Foolish, Part 2 (2019) 03.05.2025 27:41
You can be the one poor man with wisdom that delivers your nation. "There was a small city with few men in it, and a great king came to it, surrounded it, and constructed large siegeworks against it. But there was found in it a poor wise man, and he saved the city by his wisdom. Yet no one remembered that poor man. (Ecclesiastes 9:14-15) Wisdom rejects the control of arrogance in your life. Wisdom...
America, the Land of the Foolish, Part 1 (2019) 02.05.2025 27:39
Why is hopelessness a national disease and loneliness an epidemic? As a nation, we are so foolish that we think we don't need God's instructions, and that we can handle it all on our own. Happiness belongs to those who hear My Father's Word and keep it” (Luke 11:28). Hearing and keeping the Word of God on a consistent basis relieves loneliness for the believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. Click for F...
The Filling of the Holy Spirit (2019) 01.05.2025 27:37
The Holy Spirit can sustain you, teach you and encourage you. "But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He shall teach you all things, and bring them to your remembrance whatever I said to you. (John 14:26) But if you quench the Holy Spirit, or grieve the Holy Spirit, then He's not able to do His job. “The flesh wars against the Spirit, the Spirit wars against th...
Doctrinal Orientation (2019) 30.04.2025 27:38
Doctrinal (Biblical) orientation comes through the imputation of the Word of God into your soul. You learn it, believe it, and apply it. Thinking with the mind of Christ is called having a divine viewpoint. "Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” (2 Peter 3:18) Click for Full Transcript: https://rhem.pub/doctrinal-orientation-dbfca6
Grace Orientation (2019) 28.04.2025 28:33
You must learn to depend on God's grace provisions. Grace orientation flows throughout your Christian life. Saving grace: “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it's the gift of God, not as a result of works, so that no one can brag about it..” (Eph 2:8-9) Living grace: “My God shall supply all of your needs [logistical grace support] according to His riches i...
The Challenge (2019) 27.04.2025 27:41
The Bible is an absolute standard. It is not relative or subjective to the situation. There are two ways to live your life: You can live it according to the absolute standard of the Bible or some alternative way of thinking, rationalizing, and perceiving what truth is and what is fiction. “The Word of God is alive and powerful, sharper than a two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder...
Spiritual Giving (2019) 26.04.2025 27:41
God is faithful. He always supplies our needs. Grace-motivated giving is the way to go. If God is in it, God will pay for it. Giving is a commemoration of grace since God the Father gave His Son as the ultimate gift to humanity. Giving in grace demands proper motivation. “Each one of us must do just as he has purposed in his heart; not grudgingly or under compulsion; for God loves the well-motivat...
Spiritual Profile (2019) 25.04.2025 27:42
Your spiritual profile is your spiritual maturity. When God looks at you, what is the profile He sees in your life? Look into the mirror of God's Word and get a realistic self-image of who you are. “But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves. " (James 1:22) “The Lord said to Samuel, ‘Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I...
Sin (2019) 24.04.2025 27:40
Jesus Christ took our personal sins on the cross. Christ paid for them. God the Father judged Him in our place. “He [God] made Him [Christ] who knew no sin [that’s the sins perfection of Jesus] to be sin for us [He assumed our sins on the cross] so that we might be made the righteousness of God through Him” (2 Cor 5:21). Recovery from sin is based on the work of God, grace, not any works on our pa...
Are You Trustworthy (2019) 23.04.2025 27:41
God expects you to be trustworthy. Two essential attributes are faithfulness and reliability. The trustworthy believer “lives by faith not by sight” (2 Col 5:7). Faith is an attitude that is learned. It’s confidence in God and His Word. Faith needs to be developed by learning God’s Word. “Grow in the grace and the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Pet 3:18). Being faithful to God m...
Lifestyle of Wisdom (2019) 21.04.2025 27:41
You have a mind and a heart, the invisible parts of your soul. Wisdom is stored in the heart and learned in the mind. When you hear the teaching of the Word of God and you learn it, it doesn’t do any good until you apply it in your life. “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.” (Prov 1:7). The objective of life is to get as much Biblical wisdom a...
The Power of Negative Volition (2019) 20.04.2025 27:41
Volition is the chooser, the decider in your soul. Developing a FLOT line in your soul is positive volition. Negative volition is refusing to believe or learn the Word of God. Negative volition is also refusing to rebound a known sin. “If I regard inquiry in my heart, the Lord will not hear me.” (Ps 66:18). If the Holy Spirit is quenched in your life by unconfessed sin, then there can be no faith...
Criminal Thinking, Part 4 (2019) 19.04.2025 27:47
God directs you to stay in fellowship with Him by using rebound (1 John 1:9) whenever you sin and to grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ. We all have a sin nature. It will neutralize you if you allow it. That’s why building a FLOT line in your soul is so important. Allowing your sin nature to control your thoughts and actions will make you weak and take you out of the plan of God. “The...
Criminal Thinking, Part 3 (2019) 18.04.2025 27:35
When you sin, it’s always against the Lord. It’s not against anyone else. As a Christian, when you sin, you break fellowship with God, you quench the Holy Spirit, and you try to live the Christian life in your energy, in your way, and it won’t work. We fool ourselves if we think our sin affects only us. Disobedience to God can bring hurt and ruin even upon the innocent. Sin’s effects go beyond the...
Criminal Thinking, Part 2 (2019) 17.04.2025 27:41
If you hate someone, even if you haven’t killed them, you’ve committed mental murder. You are not allowed, as a Christian, to hate anyone. “Do not let bitterness rule your life or hatred or implacability or even malice” (Eph 4:31). The real you is what you think. Your spiritual life is lived in your thoughts, in your desires, and in your intentions. “Let none of you suffer as a murderer or as a th...
Criminal Thinking, Part 1 (2019) 16.04.2025 27:40
We have to learn to control our sin nature. The mental attitude sins of bitterness, jealousy, and revenge can motivate someone, even a Christian, to commit horrible crimes. “If you have bitter jealousy and strife in your heart, do not become arrogant and lie against the truth. For where jealousy and strife exist, there is unruliness and evil deeds” (James 3:14-15). God sees everything. Nothing is...
My Kind of Lady (2019) 14.04.2025 27:37
A woman's beauty comes from what is in her soul. “Charm is deceitful and outside beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord shall be praised” (Prov 31:25). Here’s an amazing gal. “Strength and dignity are her clothing and she smiles at the future. She opens her mouth in wisdom and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue” (Prov 31:25). Wisdom is wonderful because it gives you discernment, the...
Having a Relaxed Mental Attitude (2019) 13.04.2025 27:37
Jesus Christ controls history. God has a wonderful plan for your life so what is there to fear? Nothing. A relaxed mental attitude is a faith-rest approach to life. An RMA is best described as having the mind of Christ. “Let this mind be in you that was also in Christ Jesus” (Phil 2:5). Understanding and maximizing the use of impersonal and personal love gives you the ability to look at people wit...
