By selecting Perry, the NFL again reveals their lack of concern for young children who will be watching. Money, ratings, and pleasing their advertisers are priorities. (We could also discuss commercials but that's for another time.) The NFL's endorsement of evil and ignorance of spiritual things is problematic. Perry recently suggested the NFL knows she likes to walk the line of what is acceptable and what is offensive. So much for being family-friendly.

There is a possibility her performance will be tame compared to Beyonce's 2013 Satanic halftime sex show, but Perry did say she has a few tricks up her sleeve for February 1st. Over 100 million viewers will most likely watch the Super Bowl halftime show.

Like Miley Cyrus, Perry grew up in a Christian home and made references to God early in her career, but now admits she has left the faith. In an interview with ET about the Super Bowl gig, Perry stated,

         "I think when the universe gives you these things, it's just asking you if you're ready for the next level. And I'm getting ready."

 This is a good reminder to pray for those who look to "the universe" or to other gods for answers. They simply lack understanding of the living God of the Bible.   

Parents, please remember this: whether a celebrity acknowledges it or not, they are role models for youth in our culture. Bad or good, millions of children will try to be just like them by mimicking their behavior and lifestyle.

It appeared to be a desperate attempt by Awards organizers to get ratings and make headlines, smack in the middle of prime time hours. Katy Perry's Grammy performance of her song "Dark Horse" appeared to be a black magic witchcraft ritual. It began with a sinister voice: "She casts spells from crystal balls. Invoking spirits. She put me in a trance." Perry then sang while four horned, demon-like figures appeared. 

Years ago, Perry admitted, "I sold my soul to the devil" after her original goal to make it in Christian music did not work out. Her first big hit was "I Kissed a Girl." Though Perry's father, an evangelical minister, loves his daughter, he has pleaded for people to pray for Katy.   

Katy Perry is not alone by any stretch. Though we don't know how deeply she is invested into the occult, the music industry features many performers engaging in Satanism and witchcraft. Some utilize demonic powers to ensnare their followers. I'm sure Superbowl organizers don't care.

Whether we're discussing entertainment or everyday life, we shouldn't expect unbelievers to act like Christians nor should we judge them -- they need salvation through Jesus. We can however, overcome our silence by warning, informing, and encouraging others to be more discerning and to avoid the garbage this world often produces and promotes.  

Too many families have conformed to the world and according to the Bible, friendship with the world is hostility toward God. 

         "Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God." (James 4:4)

Harmless entertainment? You make the call. A chasm exists between being edified and slimed. We cannot protect our hearts and minds while filling them with trash.

Some call it entertainment; I call it soul pollution, and there are much better things we can do with our time.
