Biblical warning against carnality, confusion, false doctrine, and spiritual defeat. This episode explains the dangers of the carnal and confused Christian. Rick Hughes defines carnality, reversionism, and spiritual confusion, showing how false doctrine and human viewpoint thinking derail spiritual growth. Learn why the power of the Christian life is the filling of the Holy Spirit and Bible doctri...

To live a lifestyle of trust, you must learn how to execute the faith-rest drill. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight” (Prov 3:5-6). Faith requires you to learn and trust what God says. Mixing the promises of God with faith is designed to stabilize your thoughts under pressure, clear...

Make your relationship with God and His Word your number one priority. Get under the ministry of a sound pastor, stay filled with the Holy Spirit, learn God’s Word and put it to use in your life, and glorify God to the maximum by re-presenting Jesus Christ. Focus your attention on what the Word of God says and don’t be distracted by all the speculation of the cosmic system and what it will throw a...

Spiritual momentum is a steady path of growth from learning God’s Word. Distractions will cause you to stall out if you are not deliberate about your spiritual life. "Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 3:18). Will you continue to study God's Word daily and develop momentum in your spiritual life or will you crash and burn? “Do not love the world nor the t...

Joy to the world, the Lord is come! Joy comes through accepting the free gift of salvation, “Good news of great joy” (Luke 2:10), which is both eternal and for the temporal life. True joy comes from putting your faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. This joy God provides doesn’t depend on circumstances or details in your life. It comes through the filling of the Holy Spirit and having the Word...

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 p...

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 Go...

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,...

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...

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 f...

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 instea...

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,...

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....

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 you...

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...

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. The...

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). Click for Full Trans...

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. Less...

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 om...

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...

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. ⬇Download Transcript: https://rhem.pu...

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 t...

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,...

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...
