Living high on the hype plane

Hype hampers the perception of truth. Honesty is heroic. Hype is heads toward hypocrisy.

Following your own desires and feelings isn’t the hype it pretends to be. Hype tries to make fake feel fresh baked. “Hype-iness” isn’t happiness!

Hype is propaganda partying. It hates any truth that disrupts it. Hype is a horrid substitute for hope. When you’re “caught” up in the hype, you’re no longer free.

Hype makes people hyper. Truth makes them think. Hype addiction keeps the phone in sight, the TV on, and the earbuds in.

Living on a hype plane
Is an emotional strain
That can pull you
Down the drain!

The hype trap
Will sit you
On the lap
Of deception!

Dare to step
Beyond the hype
And take a swipe
At opening the pipe
Of humility and truth.

People see your hype
But God sees your heart.
Learn to be the type
That will drop your hype
And open up your heart.

When hype is followed
Lies are swallowed.

The more hype
That goes viral
The more society’s
In a downward spiral.

People like hype
Because they hope
That it will wipe
Their problems away.

Community
Is heart unity.
Let Jesus
Unite your heart
With Himself
And with others.

When life’s problems storm your stable, the risen Jesus will keep you stable in the storm. Let Him replace your hype with heroic hope!

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia." If you need encouragement, search for: Elephants Encouraging The Room and/or check out my Amazon author page. Thank you!
