From Sorceress to Saved – Jac Marino Chen joins Dr. Mike

Posted on August 5, 2026 by ccpastormike

In a world where occult and New Age practices are becoming increasingly mainstream, exposing the basics of New Age and occult teachings helps people to identify them when they appear.

Today, demonic elements behind occult and New Age practices ensnare people in numerology, crystals, tarot cards, alchemy, alien contact, witchcraft, and more.

Jac Marino Chen’s book, “Ensnared: Overcoming the Darkness of the New Age and Occult With the Light of God’s Truth,” is the subject of this conversation.

Replacement Theology: Its Root, Fruit, and Consequences for Jewish People and the Nation of Israel – NOW AVAILABLE

Posted on November 28, 2025 by ccpastormike

Excerpt:

What Replacement Theology as a system embraces is metaphysical personalism – a belief that Old Testament realities/promises are transformed/absorbed/dissolved in Christ. By doing this, Replacement Theology believes it is justified in discarding/eliminating God’s covenant promises to Israel and co-opting them to the church. This is a serious error. There is a direct cause-and-effect relationship between Replacement Theology/Supersessionism and antisemitism. Replacement Theology adherents can no longer hide from this conclusion. Nor should we allow them to do so. Any theology that leads to hating people, be they Jewish or otherwise, is a theology not worthy of our consideration and must be opposed.

We are at a pivotal point in history. How the church approaches Israel today will determine the impact it has on the earth in our day and until the return of Jesus. Israel remains an inescapable stumbling block for many Christians. This should not be the case. The church should be Israel’s biggest advocate. That it is not is a sad commentary. God’s eternal plan for Israel is intertwined with His plan for all the nations. Christians, above all people, should make it a pursuit to understand the biblical story of Israel and God’s plan for them in the future. Buckle up, friends, the ride is going to be bumpy for some.

James: A Commentary for the Remnant Body of Jesus Christ

Posted on January 28, 2021 by ccpastormike

My newest commentary is now available. From my Introduction:

The book of James is an oft-quoted and oft-misunderstood book. How can those two things be true simultaneously?

James is quoted often when it comes to passages of Scripture that inform us about our communication. James has much to say about how we should speak. James also warns us of the great danger ever lurking in the shadows to be unbridled if we do not guard our speech.

James is often misunderstood when compared to Paul’s writings. This is particularly true when it comes to discussing the doctrine of justification. Some admit to being confused by what Paul says and what James says. Let me be another voice in the many that say there is no contradiction between Paul and James. Paul speaks of justification by faith alone. James does not deny that. In fact, James’ focus is not on the means or process of salvation at all. James is focused on what the Christian life will look like after someone is born again. Thus arguably the most quoted passage in James – “Faith without works is dead.”

James reminds us that walking by faith with God is a call to action. Head knowledge alone is worthless. James reminds us that Christianity informs the culture in which it is present. True faith is not a cloistered, monastic, cerebral exercise.

Let’s get out into the streets of our communities and press the case of Jesus Christ, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which anyone can be saved.

That is our message in every age – only Jesus saves. I pray you will demonstrate Holy Spirit boldness and courage. We need you today more than ever.

I encourage you to have your Bible open and study along with me in these chapters of the book of James. May our great God and Father bless your efforts.

Blessings in the mighty name of Jesus!
