You cannot give to God what you do not have. You cannot worship God unless you come through the Lord Jesus Christ and are filled with the Holy Spirit. “For there is one God and one mediator also between God and men, Christ Jesus” (1 Tim 2:5). “God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth (John 4:24). True worship comes from what you have learned about Him as taught acc...

Being miserable is a choice. A miserable attitude is self-induced. Satan’s myth is that circumstances or people will make you happy. This isn’t true! The Bible says, “Blessed [happy] are those who hear the Word of God and keep it” (Luke 11:28). The plan of God overrides all heartaches in life. “Thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ; be steadfast" (1 Cor 15:57-58)....

The Bible says not to judge. Judging is a sin and brings the consequences of divine discipline. “Do not judge so that you will not be judged. For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured back to you” (Matt 7:1-2). Do not stick your nose where it doesn’t belong. This may be why you’re suffering. Judging prevents you from advancing in the plan of...

Understanding God’s character prevents confusion and false worship. Do you truly understand the God you claim to know?

Without persistent prayer, your children don’t have a chance. Mothers, stay filled with the Holy Spirit and plant God’s Word deep into the souls of your children so when they grow up, they won’t abandon it, or they will return to it. “This is the confidence which we have before Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us” (John 5:14). Don’t quit praying for your children, espec...

Stand fast in the Lord. God’s steadfast, unfailing love is an amazing promise for us. “Give thanks to the Lord, for His steadfast love is everlasting” (Ps 136:1). This country needs you to become spiritually mature and be a blessing by association. Don’t be discouraged in your spiritual growth by those who criticize you for being too committed to learning God’s Word. The Apostle Paul encouraged hi...

When you complain about anything or anyone, you are complaining against God because God allowed the circumstances. If you are “gritching” you aren't using the faith-rest drill and impersonal love. Complaining is a sin. “Do all things without complaining or disputing; so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and pervers...

You strengthen your spiritual heart when you exercise your spiritual life. “For bodily discipline is only of little profit, but godliness is profitable for all things, since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come” (1 Tim 4:8).

They understand the mechanics of the spiritual life and gain divine wisdom, insight and discernment by growing to spiritual maturity. Knowledge and application of God’s Word gives them strength. The SQP is a powerful witness through lifestyle. “Do not be hasty in word or...

Does dying in sin cause a believer to lose salvation? A listener asked this sobering question, so in this episode of The FLOT Line, Rick Hughes explains the difference between a relationship with God and fellowship with God, between temporal carnality and prolonged carnality, and why divine discipline does not mean loss of salvation. Using Scripture, Rick clarified eternal security, the integrity...

When a Christian doesn’t recognize arrogance in his life, it’s a mental flaw that neutralizes spiritual growth. Many have hang-ups with certain sins or with people and this derails their spiritual lives. “Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins” (1 Pet 4:8). Studying God’s Word is how to counter mental flaws. It will show you where you are hype...

Easter is a time to celebrate the power of Jesus Christ’s resurrection and eternal security through faith in His finished work on the cross. “Behold, now is the day of salvation” (2 Cor 6:2). Easter is also a time to recognize the significance of your spiritual life and reflect upon what will happen after your resurrection. As a believer, your spiritual life will be evaluated at the Judgment Seat...

Spiritual life failure has consequences—our nation is in decline and under God’s discipline. “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6). It starts with you if you want God to guarantee His blessing on America, and your children and grandchildren. As your spiritual life goes, so goes your life, family, and the nation. “I [God] searched for a man among them who would build up the wa...

Your spiritual life is lived 24/7. It’s not just worship on Sundays.

Your objective is spiritual maturity. This requires consistency in staying filled with the Holy Spirit and learning and applying God’s...

Spiritual independence is the first step of spiritual self-esteem. Stay in the Word and God the Holy Spirit will guide you. “Teach me Your way, O Lord, and lead me in a level path” (Ps 27:11). You will be able to make decisions on your own—not relying on others. Spiritual self-confidence means you won’t be intimidated by decisions. You will make good decisions and stand behind them. You will face...

You must understand God to worship Him. Learning the attributes of God increases your understanding of God and your love for Him. “Let him who boasts, boasts of this, that he understands and knows Me” (Jer 9:24). God’s attributes include sovereignty, immutability, justice, righteousness, love, omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence, veracity, and eternal life. Each attribute guarantees God is in c...

Using Galatians 6:9 and 1 Corinthians 15:58, he explains how faithfulness and perseverance protect believers from discouragement and spiritual drift. This episode also identifies the conquering Christian, the overcomer...

Personal sin, arrogance, evil, and discernment are critical concepts for Christians to understand.

God leaves you here after salvation to be a witness for Christ. “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of good things” (Rom 10:15). Your job is to witness through your life and what you say. The greatest power you have is the gospel. Present it and then let the Holy Spirit do the convincing and the convicting. Do you pray for the opportunity to witness? “My heart’s desire and my...

Your spiritual life refers to what’s happening in your soul and human spirit. God gives you a spiritual life so you can operate in the devil’s world. Your spiritual life and your spiritual growth go with you to heaven. “The Word of the Lord endures forever” (1 Pet 1:25). How is your spiritual life? Are you maturing and replicating the thinking of Christ? Do you know and use God’s 10 problem-solvin...

You are being observed by God and by angels. Angels learn from us. We have spiritual assets they don’t have. “We have so great a cloud of witnesses observing us” (Heb 12:1). Witnesses are watching you. Are you glorifying God by sustaining your spiritual momentum? “Let us lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us” (Heb 12:1b). Occupation with Jesus Christ is your strength...
