In 1. Samuel 15:1-3 God gives Saul orders to destroy the Amalekites.
How can such destruction be justified?
How is it possible for God to command such a massacre?
How can He kill innocent people like children and little babies?
Why does God order the Israelites to destroy the Amalekites instead of doing it Himself?
Why is there so much evil in the world? Why doesn't God do anything about it? How can He tolerate it? Why doesn't He destroy it?
Why do so many terrible things happen to innocent people?
Who do bad things happen to good people?
What is the solution to evil?
Do all your problems go away if you are a Christian?
In the course of half an hour, this sermon deals with these questions in light of God's Word and the Gospel.
(The word "Smitey" used in the title is a wordplay on Mighty and to Smite.)
