Be glad he can use semicolons correctly! An ambassador is an officially appointed representative of a nation. He is empowered to carry out negotiations between his country and the country in which he is stationed. The powers of an ambassador are defined in the credentials or documents of introduction which are given to him. An ambassador may bring suit on behalf of his nation and may also defend suits that are brought against it. His chief responsibility is to work for the goals and programs of the nation which he represents. An ambassador raises a banner of honor. We are also ambassadors. We are ambassadors for Christ through the authority of Scripture. We represent the nation of God. Our nation is composed of all Believers. We are sent to the kingdom of this world. We are called to deliver those who are held captive by the power of Satan and to glorify God. We need to rise to our calling of ambassador. 5d. In the sentences provided, complete the following steps: 1. Write S for sentence or C for clause after each group of words. 2. For the ones you labeled S, highlight each of the four components of a sentence (CVES) with four different colored highlighters. 3.

It is vital for a peacemaker to have a clear conscience toward everyone; it is also important for him to be at peace with all men much as possible on his part. CS CS 3. There is constant spiritual warfare between God and Satan; peacemakers are those who rescue men and women from the dominion of Satan. CS CS 4. The very act of peacemaking is spiritual warfare; it is in the context of this warfare that all Believers are to have their feet shod with the preparation of the Gospel of peace. CS CS 5. A peacemaker leads others to salvation and spiritual growth; a peacemaker must take initiative. CS CS 6. A great missionary movement originated from the church at Antioch; it was there that believers were first called Believers. 6 9B Week 1 Answer Keys (First Edition)

These irritations often come (from shoes) that do not fit properly. 15. This irritation stimulates the flow (of blood) (to the area), promoting healing and repairing damaged cells. 16. The pressure (of the improperly fitting shoe)(against the foot) further irritates the spot as the area swells (with blood). Teacher Tip: Your student may highlight the one-word subject (supply) or the describers with it (increased blood supply). 17.

The skin builds up protective layers which, (in turn), harden and cause more pressure. 18 9B Week 3 Answer Keys (First Edition)
