CoG uses the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service as propaganda to signal divine legitimacy — Jesus explicitly condemned this kind of public righteousness display

The False Teachings and Lies of Joo-Cheol Kim (Pastor of the Church of God) 00:52:39 – 00:54:12

CoG prominently features the Queen's Award on its website and presents it to members as evidence they are the true Church of God.

Mike explains that hundreds of organizations receive the Queen's Award annually. CoG coordinates mass volunteer efforts specifically to qualify, then petitions the government for the award, then publicizes it. Their website is more devoted to publicizing their good works than to doctrinal content. Mike applies Matthew 6:1-4: 'beware of practicing your righteousness before others in order to be seen by them... they have received their reward.' The trumpet-blowing is itself evidence of a spiritual problem.
