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.

Life's Toughest Years, Part 5 (2018) 12.02.2025 27:35
Every problem in life has a solution stated in the Word of God. Rejecting the Word of God and indifference to God’s Word are two areas where we can fail in our spiritual lives. “Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me” (Matt 11:29). Study under a well-qualified pastor and let him teach you. Grow in the grace and knowledge of your Lord and Savior, and you will have a fantastic life. To discover God...
Life's Toughest Years, Part 4 (2018) 10.02.2025 27:31
The cosmic system is the devil’s world. It offers happiness in people and circumstances, but this is a lie. Unhappy people take their unhappiness with them wherever they go. The cosmic system is luring people who get into a frantic search for happiness and are following the lie. “Happiness belongs to those people who hear My Father’s Word and keep it” (Luke 11:28). This takes humility and authorit...
Life's Toughest Years, Part 3 (2018) 09.02.2025 27:30
There is a real danger in experimenting with things the world offers. ’Sowing a few wild oats.’ It can build up scar tissue in the soul to the point of losing all norms and standards. “They are alienated from the life of God [God’s plan for your life] through the ignorance [lack of knowledge of God’s Word] that is in them because of the blindness of their heart” (Eph 4:18). If your heart becomes h...
Life's Toughest Years, Part 2 (2018) 08.02.2025 27:34
The secret to a long, full, and meaningful life is to learn authority orientation at home as you grow up. This is how we overcome our arrogant tendencies that lead to self-destruction. “Honor your father and mother as the Lord your God has commanded you that your days may be prolonged” (Deut 5:16). Without the appreciation and respect of your parents, you’ll have a flawed life. Authority orientati...
Life's Toughest Years, Part 1 (2018) 07.02.2025 27:37
The teenage years are tough. The first test in life for any teenager is conforming to authority. Sometimes authority isn’t fair. How do you handle this? You can react with anger or bitterness or you can respond with obedience and understanding. God puts you through this to prepare you for life. Life isn’t fair. It’s inherent in the sinful nature to buck authority so you must learn how to handle it...
Satan’s Tactics (2018) 06.02.2025 27:37
You are in a spiritual war. Satan’s objectives are threefold: to exploit your weaknesses (the trends of your sin nature); to outwit you from reaching spiritual maturity, and to circumvent God’s desires for you. “Don’t be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Rom 12:2). This means you have to change the way you think. Think with a divine viewpoint, not a human vi...
The Misguided Person (2018) 05.02.2025 27:35
Any decisions you make apart from the directive will of God lead to confusion. Base your decisions on the Word of God, not emotions. Otherwise, you’ll fall for the decoys of the cosmic system with human-viewpoint thinking. “Everyone who comes to Me and hears My Word and acts on it I will show you who he’s like. He is like a man building a house who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rocks” (L...
Your Reasonable Service (2018) 03.02.2025 27:40
We only get one shot at this life. At some point, you have to make the decision to grow in grace and make yourself approved unto God. This requires an attitude adjustment. “Don’t be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind so that you may prove what the will of God is” (Rom 12:2).

Divine Discipline (2018) 03.02.2025 27:35
Divine discipline is designed to get you back where you belong—in fellowship with God and growing in the grace and knowledge of your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. God’s discipline comes from His justice and is always done in grace because He loves you. “For whom the Lord loves, He judges, like a father to a son in whom he delights.” (Prov 3:12). You may be suffering now because you walked away fro...
Patience (2018) 02.02.2025 27:35
We must have patience with people and circumstances. The Holy Spirit produces patience in the form of a relaxed mental attitude which is where joy comes from. “Rest in the Lord” (Ps 37:7). Rest means having a relaxed mental attitude. “Be strengthened with His might of all His glory, for all patience and long-suffering with joy” (Col 1:10-12). Patience is the capacity to endure evil, adversity and...
America, The Dying Nation (2018) 01.02.2025 27:19
Americans are failing to execute the mandates of God. “There is a lack of knowledge in the land” (Hosea 4:1-6). There is no love for God or His Word. Rejection of divine establishment principles (freedom, marriage, family, nationalism), unrestrained lawlessness, and a crisis in governance are all indicators of a dying nation. We’re losing our country. You are the solution. Use the grace assets of...
Eternal Security (2018) 31.01.2025 27:41
Knowing you have eternal life is wonderful. You don’t have to worry about death. Once God gives you eternal life He doesn’t and can’t pull it back. “I give unto them eternal life and they will never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand. My Father which gave them to Me is greater than all and no man is able to pluck them out of My Father’s hand” (John 10:28-29). You can’t lose yo...
Volition (2018) 30.01.2025 27:32
Volition is the decider in your life. The decisions you make determine the life you lead. You are responsible for your thoughts and actions. Your positive or negative volition to the Word of God will determine the course of your life. “He that believes on the Son has everlasting life and He that believes not on the Son shall not see life and the wrath of God abides on him forever” (John 3:36). “Ha...
Faith and Wisdom, Part 2 (2018) 29.01.2025 27:22
Knowledge is something you understand, and wisdom is what you believe and apply to your life. All wisdom for the Christian comes from the Word of God. “Man shall not live on bread alone but on every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God” (Matt 4:4). Wisdom gives you insight and discernment to make good decisions. The Word of God teaches problem-solving as thinking skills. Perception means you...
Faith and Wisdom, Part 1 (2018) 27.01.2025 27:35
Faith is required to live a phenomenal Christian life. Faith is how we begin the process of acquiring divine wisdom. “Without faith, it is impossible to please God, for he that comes to God must believe that He is and that He is the rewarder of them that diligently seek Him” (Heb 11:6). Divine wisdom, divine viewpoint thinking, is our advantage. “Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my...
Faith (2018) 26.01.2025 27:40
Faith obliterates fear and replaces it with peace in your life. This relaxed mental attitude founded on faith produces peace in a world of uncertainty. It’s an amazing way to live. “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you, not as the world gives, give I unto you. So let not your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” (John 14:27). Believing is the action of faith. This peace isn’t the...
Contentment (2018) 25.01.2025 27:41
Contentment is the capacity for living. Personal love for God and sharing the happiness of God are where contentment, tranquility, and happiness come from. “I have learned in whatever state I am in to be content” (Phil 4:11-13). The greatest happiness you’ll ever experience in your life is when you know you are in the center of the will and plan of God for your life. “Come to Me all ye that labor...
The Wise Person (2018) 24.01.2025 27:37
Living the Christian life is thinking and living differently. Christians use the Word of God and the 10 problem-solving devices to guide their thoughts and decisions. That’s being a wise person! The wise person evaluates himself in the light of what the Word of God teaches. “The wise of heart will receive commands, but a babbling fool will come to ruin.” (Prov 10:8). “Let the wise hear and increas...
Our Divine Resources (2018) 23.01.2025 27:40
Be calm and be in control by learning and using the divine resources God provides. One of these terrific resources is eternal security. Know with confidence where you will spend eternity. There is no need to be afraid of living in a crisis, facing financial hardship, getting sick, or dying. God will take care of you! “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding...
The Natural Man (2017) 22.01.2025 27:31
An unbeliever is described as a natural man. The natural man has no spiritual life, no eternal relationship with God. “A natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God for they are foolishness to him and he cannot understand them because they are spiritually appraised” (1 Cor 2:14). A natural man doesn’t have a living human spirit so can’t understand spiritual things. “May God sanctif...
Hard Hearted People (2017) 20.01.2025 27:41
Scar tissue in the soul, the hardness of the heart, happens when you have a vacuum in your mind. “Don’t walk in the vanity of your mind” (Eph 4:17). When the Word of God isn’t there your soul is filled with human viewpoint thinking. When you choose to separate from God’s plan and God’s will your understanding is darkened, “alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them” (E...
Three Lives and Two Deaths (2017) 19.01.2025 27:35
The three lives of a Christian: physical, spiritual and eternal. “I will give thanks to You because I am wonderfully made” (Ps 139:14). Physical life is an opportunity to glorify God. Physical life is temporal. It must end because this body won’t work in heaven. The spiritual life, your second life, begins when you accept Jesus Christ as your Savior. “If anyone is born in Christ he is a new creatu...
Volitional Responsibility (2017) 18.01.2025 27:37
Volition is your ability to choose. God gave us free will. With our freedom to choose, using volitional responsibility, most of the time we cause our own misery and suffering through the bad decisions we make. Wrong thinking, a human viewpoint is a self-imposed misery. Volitional responsibility applies to wrong thinking; wrong motivation; wrong decisions; and wrong or impulsive actions. “For he wh...
The Real You (2017) 17.01.2025 27:35
You are what you think. “As a man thinks in his heart, so he is” (Prov 23:7). The real you is revealed by the thoughts and intentions of your heart. “As water reflects the face, so a person’s heart reflects the person” (Prov 27:19). God knows our thoughts, intentions and motives. Acquiring a divine viewpoint is so important. Arrogance will short-circuit this. The only way to shed arrogance is to l...
The Cosmic System (2017) 16.01.2025 27:28
You have a choice. You can love the world which is the cosmic system, the things of the world which bring temporary pleasures in life. “If anyone loves the world the love for the Father is not in him” (1 John 2:15). Or you can love the Lord Jesus Christ and have permanent happiness. “He that loves Me will be loved by My Father and I will love him also and reveal Myself to him” (John 14:21). The co...
