I too have to agree with you.... and for even more reasons than you pointed out.

Look just under the logo at the very top of their website. They very boldly quote a Bible verse: “Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. -Psalm 37:4”

There is a very unbiblical heresy unfortunately showing itself often and boldly in Many so-called Christian churches today, called “Prosperity Gospel.” Prosperity Gospel takes this verse out of context and skews it’s meaning. You may have heard of the popular film/book (promoted by Oprah) making the rounds called “The Secret” which purported that The secret to making more money, losing weight, falling in love, landing your dream job, etc. is to follow the advise in this film/book. It talks of a “new Era” locked away for centuries, but now available to all and teaches learn to ask for what you want and, if you believe it, you will receive it. The premise of this is that we all have a divine essence within us, and we just need to get in touch with it.

Thia is the pantheistic belief that God is in all of creation and we too can become a god. Does this remind you of someone?.... Lucifer was banished from heaven for this belief.

And the Devil used that line in the Garden of Eden. There is nothing new about “New Age”.
