Katy Perry and the Real State of This Nation

Do you want to have a peek into the real state of this nation—the state of the millennial generation? Just watch the Super Bowl program during halftime. (Warning: I am quoting words by Katy Perry who sang in the Super Bowl halftime show last night, and I do this to show the state of the coming generation as very publically displayed at the Super Bowl. I am giving this warning in case you would prefer not to read this post.)

Katy Perry sang words like these last night: “Let you put your hands on me in my skin-tight jeans . . . Sippin' gin and juice . . . Getcha freak on.” And she sang some of “I Kissed a Girl” (her original hit song that says, “I kissed a girl and I liked it, the taste of her Cherry ChapStick. I kissed a girl just to try it. I hope my boyfriend don’t mind it. It felt so wrong. It felt so right. Don't mean I'm in love tonight. I kissed a girl and I liked it. I liked it.”)

So what does that mean with today’s cultural trends?! The words were on my TV as she “sang.” Most of them didn’t even make sense—they were meaningless garbage. Do young people in the church follow Katy Perry? I hope not! Sensuous and evil! But it is a sad peek into the real state of much of the coming generation!

Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. (1 John 2:15)
