Burn the Milquetoast

James Adam’s calls for praying the Psalms:

God plainly declares that it is His purpose to bring down the evil empire in due time. But how has He chosen do so? Through the prayers and work of His saints–your prayers and mine! We must end the wishy-washy, milquetoast prayers of our own philosophies and learn again to beg for the overthrow of Satan’s domain. (War Psalms of the Prince of Peace)

The imprecatory Psalms are rarely sung in the church today and this is to the detriment of the cause of justice. It is said that God has come to this world to save his people and set the world to rights, and this is precisely what the Psalms call for which are then taken up by the writers of the New Testament and Jesus himself. Sickened by sex trafficking? Cantankerous over corrupt politicians fleecing the poor? Take up and sing the Psalms.
