Helping “Prepare the Bride” for Christ is our first and overall quest. He is ready for the marriage, we are not. We need to do all we can to give our hearts entirely to Him and be as much like Him as we can be by the time we die, or He returns. He wants a bride totally committed—heart, mind, body and soul to Him and His purposes.We are entreated to think as He thinks (let this mind be in you...), walk as He walks, to live by every word of God. The reason we, Worldwide Church of God, were all spewed out was lack of heart—lukewarmness. The zeal and “doing everything with our might” was missing. It was not primarily doctrine, apart from the Tkach debacle, but attitude that put us where we are today scattered, confused, frustrated. Or on the other hand, blissfully unaware that anything is wrong “in our group.”It is the aim of A Congregation of God to look first at ourselves and fix our own attitudes and conduct. If we can be a light to others, well and good. If by sermons we post, we can help others along their spiritual road to the Kingdom of God, so much the better.Under WCG, many were called, and now a few are being selected to finish the end-time work of God and round out the 144,000 selected as the bride. Herbert Armstrong fulfilled Mat. 28:19-20—calling many disciples.The two witnesses and the remnant soon to be gathered (read Haggai and Zech 1-4, Rev. 11) will fulfillMat. 24:14.

Now our quest is to restore peace and “press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus (Immanuel)” Phil 3:14. Again, the prize of the first-fruits is to be the bride of Christ and we must fight past any distractions in preparation for that high calling.
