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.

Episodes

Who is God (2012) 02.02.2024

We can’t define the image of God. “God is a spirit and those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and truth” (John 4:24). We tend to create God in our image and then we humanize God. Don’t do this because God is indescribable. “He holds the world in His hands” (John 5 ). God doesn’t have hands but this gives God human characteristics so we can understand the Biblical concepts. We don’t have...

Lake of Fire (2011) 01.02.2024

God loves you. He does not want you to spend eternity baking in the Lake of Fire. The choice is yours. “He that believes on the Son has everlasting life and he that believes not the Son of God shall not see life but the wrath of God abides on him” (John 3:36). Anyone who rejects the Lord Jesus Christ as the anointed Son of God will go to the Lake of Fire. Jesus Christ was judged on the cross for a...

Discipline (2011) 31.01.2024

Much of our suffering is self-induced. When we use our volition to go negative to the plan of God and say no to the authority of God this negative volition is a misery manufacturing machine. When we sin and don’t use rebound to recover we get under divine discipline. “Whom the Lord loves He chastens” (Heb 12:6). Divine discipline is punitive action taken by the justice of God to get our action to...

Christian Life Basics (2011) 29.01.2024

You can know with certainty you are going to heaven when you die. “Whosoever will call upon the name of the Lord will be saved” (Rom 10:13). “This is written so you may know you have eternal life. He that has the Son has life and he that has not the Son of God has not life” (1 Jn 5:12-13). The issue of being saved is putting your faith in the finished work of Christ on the cross. You express this...

Child Abuse, Part 2 (2011) 28.01.2024

If you are being abused as a child or young adult tell someone in authority now, quickly. When a child is abused, it deposits garbage in their sub-conscience. They don’t have the coping skills to handle it. You, as a maturing Christian, know how. Encourage them to take it to the Heavenly Father. Take it to the Supreme Court of Heaven which is open 24 hours a day. Think with a divine viewpoint. Foc...

Child Abuse, Part 1 (2011) 27.01.2024

God does not tolerate child abuse. Rest assured the Supreme Court of Heaven is open 24/7 and you do not need to take matters into your own hands. God will deal with child abusers. How can someone do such evil as abuse a child? Because they’ve put a callous over their conscience. Their heart is hardened to the point they don't know right from wrong, they have no guilt, and by their arrogance, t...

Judging (2011) 26.01.2024

The tongue is a fire and God does not tolerate a tongue that is not tame. It’s easy to fall into the trap of letting our mouth get us into sin. Judging, maligning, and complaining are all sins of the tongue. If you’ve been treated unjustly or want to complain about someone, take it to the Supreme Court of Heaven open 24/7 and then let it go. Keep your mouth shut. Don’t talk about it. “Judge not so...

How the Christian Life Works (2011) 25.01.2024

God wants you to think a different way—not the way the rest of the world thinks. Divine viewpoint is based on your understanding of the Word of God and relating circumstances in your life to what the Bible says. “Stop thinking in terms of arrogance beyond what you should think but think in terms of humility as God has assigned to each one of us a standard of thinking from His Word” (Rom 12:3). The...

Know the Truth (2011) 24.01.2024

The truth of knowing Jesus Christ sets you free. “You shall know the truth and the truth will set you free” (John 8:32). Truth is in Jesus Christ. “I am the way, the truth and the life” (John 14:6). Truth for us is a divine viewpoint, the thinking of Christ. The Holy Spirit will lead you and guide you to where the truth is. “When the Spirit of truth comes He will guide you into all the truth” (Joh...

A Better Way to Live (2011) 22.01.2024

There is a better way to live. The Christian life is executing the protocol plan of God. Put simply, it is making good decisions every day based on what the Bible says. You learn and understand God’s protocol plan by studying God’s Word under the ministry of a qualified pastor. “Happy are those who hear My Father’s Word and keep it” (Luke 11:28). Our biggest problem is ourselves, our sinful nature...

Beware of the Counterattack, Part 2 (2011) 21.01.2024

“Let no advantage be taken of us by Satan for we are not ignorant of his devices” (2 Cor 2:11). Jesus Christ used Scripture and the shield of faith to counter the attacks of Satan and defeat him. You have the same and more divine resources to use. There are over 7000 promises in the Bible. Learn some and claim them. “Stand still and watch God deliver you” (Ex 14:13). Watch out for allowing Satan t...

Beware of the Counterattack, Part 1 (2011) 20.01.2024

“It is no longer I but Christ in me” (Gal 10:20). Satan is always quick to counterattack after a personal spiritual victory. Expect it. Satan is a master at counterattacking. He does it to shift your attention away from God and put your eyes on yourself. Satan and his cosmic system will try to distract you, discourage you and defeat you. He will try to knock you off course in your spiritual advanc...

Sleepers (2011) 19.01.2024

Many Christians are asleep spiritually Their rate of forgetting is exceeding their rate of learning. “You know the times in which we are living, thus it is time for you to wake up, our salvation is nearer now than when we first became believers” (Rom 13:11-14). Sleepers are distracted by the details of life, discouraged by adversity, and have lost sight of the hope that is ours in Christ Jesus. As...

His Coming (2011) 18.01.2024

The Lord has not abandoned us. He promised He is coming back for us. No one knows when the Exit Resurrection, also known as the Rapture, will occur. “I will come back and receive you to Myself so that where I am, you may be also” (John 14:1-3). Dispensations are how you know there is a Church Age, an Exit Resurrection, followed by the Tribulation, the Second Advent, then the Millennial Reign of Ch...

The Promise of His Coming (2011) 17.01.2024

We live in the Church Age. It will terminate with the Exit Resurrection, also known as the Rapture. This is when the Lord Jesus Christ will return for us and we will meet Him in the air (1 Thes 4:17). This is His promise! No one knows when, but He will return. “Scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lust, and saying, ‘Where is the promise of His coming?” (2 Pet 3:3-4)...

Take Learn (2011) 15.01.2024

“Take My yoke” and “Learn from Me.” Take My Yoke is your voluntary submission to His direction in your life. Learning from Christ is a mandate for living your spiritual life. The template our Lord Jesus Christ gives you is His life during His earthly ministry. If you learn from Jesus Christ, “you will find rest for your soul” (Matt 11:28-29). Rest from the chains of legalism, rituals without reali...

Come Follow (2011) 14.01.2024

Jesus Christ tells us “Follow Me” (Matt 4:19). You are called to follow Him. “For to this you were called because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example that we should follow in His steps” (1 Pet 2:21). Everything Christ wants you to know from his three year earthly ministry is recorded for you in the Bible as an example of how to think and how to live. Our Lord’s life is a template. W...

Patience (2011) 13.01.2024

Patience is an incredible virtue of a spiritually maturing believer. Patience with people and circumstances. “Knowing this that the trying of your faith produces patience. But let patience have her perfect work that you may be mature and entire, wanting in nothing.” (James 1:3-4). God puts us through testing to produce patience, perseverance, character, and hope. “We glory in our tribulation knowi...

Seekers or Peepers (2011) 12.01.2024

Curiosity is not the same as positive volition. To grow spiritually, you must use your volition, and choose, to study the Word of God consistently. “In Christ are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge” (Col 2:3). It’s the Word of God that makes you rich in wisdom. “I love those who love me [wisdom], and those who seek me diligently will find me” (Prov 8:17). Faith is required to seek Go...

The Word of God (2011) 11.01.2024

Jesus Christ in His humanity defeated Satan by quoting Scripture, the Bible. Using Scripture is how we survive in the devil’s world. Being absolutely tuned into God’s Word is how you live the Christian life. Christ in His humanity had to grow to spiritual maturity by learning God’s Word and we do too. “Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and man” (Luke 2:52). Pastors are...

Lying to Deceive (2011) 10.01.2024

We have a national epidemic of lying in America. The motivation for all lying is deception. It’s a pattern of arrogance. The arrogant person seeks to deceive. Lying to self is one of the worst. Lying is listed twice in the seven sins God says He hates. “A lying tongue” (Prov 6:17) and “A false witness that speaks lies” (Prov 6:19). Lying started with Satan who is the father of all lies. Today ther...

Lying (2011) 08.01.2024

Lying is motivated by deception. Deceptive behavior is based on arrogance. “There is no truth and no knowledge of God in the land” (Hosea 4:1-2). There is a national epidemic of lying in America. “Liars believe liars” (Prov 17:4). Satan is the father of lies and organized religion is based on lies. “He speaks from his own resources, for he’s a liar and the father of lies” (John 8:44). Satan’s moti...

Understanding God (2011) 07.01.2024

You get to know God through Jesus Christ. “I am the way, the truth, and the life and no man can come to the Father but by Me” (John 14:6). You get to understand God by means of staying filled with the Holy Spirit and learning and applying the Word of God (Eph 5:18 and 2 Pet 3:18). If you’re going to understand the God you know, you have to understand the protocol plan of God, how God works. God ha...

Personal Sense of Destiny (2011) 06.01.2024

You are to look forward not back. As a Christian, you have a personal sense of destiny. You know where you are going because you have eternal security. You have a race to run and your objective is to cross the finish line. This is your destiny. Keep your eyes on Christ. “Looking unto Jesus the author and perfecter of our faith” (Heb 12:2). The greatest joy you can have is to fulfill the plan of Go...

The Pivot (2011) 05.01.2024

Are you the person God is looking for who will make up the hedge and stand in the gap for our nation? The enemy is pouring in. The enemy is Satanic viewpoint thinking and it is always out there as a lure to capture the thoughts of believers and unbelievers alike. To stand in the gap you must become part of the pivot. The pivot is a group of men and women who are the salt preserving a client nation...
