Paul's Illustration of Self Denial In verse 26 Paul continues, "Therefore I run in such a way, as not without aim; I box in such a way, as not beating the air. Paul uses the KJV Bible word "uncertainly" (Greek G84 ἀδήλως, adēlōs) to describe how he runs. The NASB translates the word "without aim." This is the only time the word is used in the NT. The word is used mostly by the classical writers of the day to usually mean obscurely. Paul reinforces his argument with the illustration of the boxing…

We could no longer hear what they were saying, but we saw him put her down and take out his Belzenef puppet, which I had been sure we confiscated. Then, he started to cower until he was fully on the ground, twitching. I sighed, grabbing his cloak and wig, “I’ll go help him back inside. He’s been through enough for one day. Maybe seeing him in his cloak, too, will help her not be afraid of him.” Tamaki offered, “I’ll help you.” We both set out to go find them before the sunlight actually killed…

“You know, I found a dragon.” Sophie whispered excitedly. As if someone might overhear their conversation. Kate rolled her eyes. “No you didn’t, I’m not falling for that.” she retorted loudly, taking another gulp of her icy lemonade. The two sisters were sitting together on the back porch of their house. In front of them their vast yard went all the way back into a thick forest, with a creek nearby. It was a hot, empty, summer day; and they were trying, without success, to get along. “Well,”…

A person with a fixed mindset is always trying to see things their own way. They are set up a certain way that when you try to communicate with them and explain your point of view, they become very biased in terms of understanding your point of view as opposed to theirs. This is a great definition of my dad. When I try talking to him I feel…

We started as friends and we didn’t expect that we were going to be special to one another. It wasn’t planned at all, but when I got to know you I opened my life to you and that’s when I fell for you until it became okay and then it didn’t become okay because of situations. You are one of the people who make me the happiest and I say this without the slightest bit of exaggeration. Your jokes were so ridiculous that they always catch me off guard and have me laughing like crazy. In those rare…

value different things in life. I have things I value, which have a special meaning to me. Not everyone understands what it is like to truly value something, because what one value another individual may have a different view of the value. In this world it is good to value something much more than money, cars, and clothes. Indeed, the things I value are what I live by on a daily basis, accepting life how it is, and growing to become a better me. The things I value are myself, family , and life.…
