Episode description

The theme of being kind to the poor is well-trodden on this podcast, but we turn to Psalm 41 for new insight. 

The Sabbath School lesson falls into a fascinating trap by using fairly heavy "us" and "them" language to describe the poor and needy. We don't claim to be in this category, but it is likely that some readers of the lesson will be. Psalm 41 actually addresses this in a subtle way by switching from 3rd- to 1st-person part way through!
