[Erk] Translation required.

I'm just working through a newsletter from a Pastoral Care Association, and so far have been able to overlook the assorted random uses of commas and the like. However, this sentence, in a section on "20 ways to develop self-esteem" has me utterly stumped - translations will be gratefully accepted (the remainder of the list seems fairly reasonable¹, but this one is a bit challenging - it appears to be the product of a word randomizer):

4. Don't dwell on the past - press towards the make for the prize of the high Calling of God in Christ Jesus.
¹ Although this was a little challenging: "Treat yourself special." For gods' sake, some grammar, please ...

Looks like they typing "press towards the prize of the...", but decided to change "press towards the" to "make for the", but forgot to delete the first three words.

I think they want to say, "don't dwell on the past - aim for the high calling of god in jesus christ"

Which even when grammatically correct makes no sense to me, but that's more a reflection of my religious beliefs :)

Actually, "towards" might be a typo for "forwards"... just to really confuse things :)

[grin] Thanks for that!
