I’m Don Porter, an educator and Christian writer who loves weaving together learning and faith. In the classroom and beyond, I aim to spark curiosity, encourage growth, and equip others with practical tools for both life and spiritual walk. Through teaching, writing, and digital projects, I share insights rooted in Scripture and everyday experience, with a desire to inspire confidence, nurture faith, and point others toward living with purpose.
A popular saying teaches “Happy wife, happy life,” but Scripture teaches something far stronger, healthier, and balanced: mutual love, mutual respect, and mutual submission. Here’s the biblical truth behind a Christ-centered home.
A focused, biblical appeal to the Independent Baptist church to stop rejecting divorced believers and return to restoration, accountability, and Christlike shepherding.
A packed church. A Christmas celebration. And yet, Christ was never mentioned. This reflection confronts a missed Gospel opportunity and calls the Church back to biblical courage.
A pastoral reflection rooted in the KJV that addresses the misunderstood phrase “the weaker vessel,” calling believers to honor, value, and biblical understanding.
Many local churches have traded spiritual discernment for business methods when seeking pastors and ordaining men. As Independent Baptists, we must return to prayerful leadership and biblical confirmation, not corporate processes. God calls, the Spirit sends, and the church confirms—not the résumés, rituals, or reputations of men.
