    My God can beat up your god... The second part of our discussion of Christ in the Psalms, by Patrick Henry Reardon.

Why are we taught by Scripture to pray imprecatory psalms, but have largely excluded such prayers from our churches? How does psalm 5 point us to Jesus and culture simultaneously?
