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.

Recover From a Hard Heart (2025)
Apr 400:27:41Tap to summarizeWhen you continue to walk in darkness, you will develop a hard heart. “Walk in the futility of their mind, being darkened in their understanding, excluded from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them because of the hardness of their heart” (Eph 4:17-18). You can recover from a heart hardened and defiled by cosmic system thinking by using God’s problem-solving device number one (Rebound: 1 John 1:9) to regain fellowship. If you are alive, there is time to fulfill God's plan for your life. “He who humbles himself will be exalted” (Luke 14:11).Download Transcript: https://rhem.pub/recover-heart-c0d95d
Transcribe →Rejoice in the Lord Always (2025)
Apr 300:27:41Tap to summarizeGod designed you to be happy. In Philippians 4:4, the Apostle Paul writes, “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice!” Paul uses the Greek word “chairo,” which means to be filled with joy. It is a constant state of happiness based on your relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ (not people, places, things, circumstances). This happiness is one of the weapons you use to defeat the things Satan is throwing your way. It’s God’s problem-solving device number nine: Sharing the happiness of God. “Happy are those who hear the Word of God and obey it” (Luke 11:28).Download Transcript: https://rhem.pub/rejoice-lord-99681d

It’s about staying filled with the Holy Spirit and using the divine assets you have, including the Bible and God’s 10 problem-solving devices. How you orient to the chaos in your life will determine your effect on others and the impact you’ll have on the devil’s world.Download Transcript: https://rhem.pub/chaos-creates-047f74
Transcribe →Reflect God's Faithfulness (2025)
Apr 100:27:31Tap to summarizeYour faithfulness to God should reflect His faithfulness to you. “It is of the Lord’s mercy we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Thy faithfulness (Lam 3:22-23). The lifestyle of the spiritually maturing believer demonstrates faithfulness with love, respect, admiration, gratitude, and obedience to God and reflects God’s mercy and compassion toward others. Part of the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to give you the strength to remain faithful. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness…” (Gal 5:22-23).Download Transcript: https://rhem.pub/reflect-faithfulness-a50ccf

Transcribe →Mercy (2025)
Mar 3000:27:25Tap to summarizeGod abounds in mercy because of His compassion for us and our eternal destiny. Mercy flows from the throne of grace. “Let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need” (Heb 4:16). Mercy is His grace in action, generated by His love and compassion. “The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in mercy” (Ps 103:8). A spiritually maturing Christian acquires the attribute of compassion and demonstrates it by reaching those who are lost and giving them the Gospel. God extends His mercy upon generation after generation to those who love and obey Him (Luke 1:50).Download Transcript: https://rhem.pub/god-mercy-9dcbf1
Transcribe →God Disciplines Those He Loves (2025)
Mar 2900:27:25Tap to summarizeGod disciplines you because He loves you. “Do not despise the discipline of the Lord. Those whom He loves He disciplines” (Heb 12:6). When you sin, you get out of the protective realm of God the Holy Spirit, which leaves you vulnerable. Your spiritual life ceases to function when you have unconfessed sin. God will use divine discipline to get your attention and encourage rebound (God’s problem-solving device number one). “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous, so that He will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9).Download Transcript: https://rhem.pub/god-disciplines-78b16f
Transcribe →Win Souls to Christ (2025)
Mar 2800:27:28Tap to summarize“He who is wise wins souls” (Prov 11:30). When you win souls to Christ, there is joy in heaven because you did your job. You can be a soul winner based on the power of the filling and ministry of the Holy Spirit and the dynamics of God’s Word in your soul. God wants you to be a witness with your life and with your lips. Your life is a testimony to the Lord Jesus Christ. You are being watched. You are to witness for the Lord Jesus Christ and win people to Christ so their souls will be delivered from the Lake of Fire. Sometimes, we witness to give the gospel. Sometimes, we witness to share the importance of spiritual growth and stability. Pray and ask God to give you opportunities to talk to lost individuals. “The testimony is this, that God has given us eternal life and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life” (1 John 5:11-12).Download Transcript: https://rhem.pub/win-souls-343276
Transcribe →Serve God (2025)
Mar 2700:26:56Tap to summarizeServing God is your purpose in life. This is why God left you here after you were saved. “Fear the Lord and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things He has done for you” (1 Sam 12:24). You receive a spiritual gift from the Holy Spirit at the moment of salvation. Using your spiritual gift is one way to serve God. You must be filled with the Holy Spirit and have some spiritual growth for your gift to be effective. This is what the Lord Jesus Christ said about serving, “If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also; if anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him” (John 12:26).Download Transcript: https://rhem.pub/serve-god-1e782e
Transcribe →Your Enemies (2025)
Mar 2600:27:31Tap to summarizeYou face three enemies in your spiritual life: the world, your flesh, and the devil. You live in the devil’s world, and it is full of temptations, illusions, and false promises. The world offers you security and happiness, but it can’t deliver. “The world is passing away; and also, its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever” (1 John 2:17). Your flesh, the sin nature, tempts you in your areas of strength and weakness. Spiritual growth counters the temptations. Satan’s objective is to avoid going to the Lake of Fire. He is trying to create a utopia on Earth through organized religion and internationalism. His tactics are beyond our comprehension, so we must consistently learn and apply God’s World, or we will fall victim to his plan. “So that no advantage would be taken of us by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his schemes” (2 Cor 2:11).Download Transcript: https://rhem.pub/your-enemies-0aa324
