The flow-equation method of continuous unitary transformations is used to eliminate the minimal quark-gluon interaction in the light-front quantized QCD Hamiltonian. The coupled differential equations in the two lowest Fock sectors correspond to the renormalization of the light-front gluon mass and the generation of an effective quark-antiquark (as well as gluon-gluon) interaction. The original gauge field coupling is completely eliminated, even in the presence of degenerate states connected by this interaction. Further, a more singular $1/q^4$ behavior for the quark and gluon effective interactions at small gluon momenta is obtained, due to the asymptotic behavior of the effective gluon mass for small cutoff. We discuss the consequences of this asymptotic behavior and possible confinement implications.
