Why Does God Allow Some People to Be Poor?

Why Does God Allow Some People to Be Poor?

The humble truth is that we don’t know the mind of God beyond what He reveals to us, so what has He revealed?

All are called to care for, give aid to, and fairly judge the poor with compassion. Scripture calls for the poor to receive justice, suggesting that poverty is an injustice and the product of oppression (Psalm 140:12; Ezekiel 22:29).

Poverty is not a punishment from God for sin, or something that God delights in- it’s the result of sinful oppression, injustice, and greed in our world- broken systems made by men.

The Big Little Impact of Art

The Big Little Impact of Art

We aim to create spaces to celebrate our kids and facilitate a positive experience with creativity, which is made possible with the Dallas Museum of Art as an enrichment partner. DMA art experts came in to host a 3-week pop-up with hands-on art education and experience. They also guided the kids on a personal tour of the DMA and helped make a showcase at Bonton Farms where families, friends, and the community could view their artwork.
