In "Sinners in the hands of an angry God", Edwards argue that the natural elements such as the sun, the earth, the air and animals were created by God not to please us and for us to make whatever we want with them. He created them for us to serve Him with them and nothing else.
<span>At the beginning of the paragraph, the topic is about how volunteering is beneficial for one's general health as it may include minor-to-moderate physical activity and reduces chronic pain and heart disease symptoms. Then, it explains that not all voluntary work may fulfill this need due to their sedentary nature, and how such should be combined with actual physical activity. From there, the paragraph goes on to say which are examples of everyday activities that can be turned into exercise, which completely diverts from the original idea.

Answer:
The idea that kites are skillful fliers is all throughout the text. Both in comparison and in contrast with birds, the author develops the concept of a kite as if an actual living bird, and as one, it has its own skills and characteristics.
Explanation:
The text begins with a general overview on raptors, and then he says: "The most glorious feathers of the peacock or the vibrant plumage of a bunting cannot compete with the power of a peregrine falcon or the determination of an osprey. Included in this group of hunters, however, is one bird of prey that is little known but equally impressive. The kites of the world are generally smaller than most raptors, but just as astonishing in skill and grace as any other hunter of the skies." Here, we have the very first moment in which kites are seen as skillful fliers.
Then, he/she goes on with its characteristics and the author itself states that "kites are generally masterful in the air and represent a group of birds that are among the most acrobatic of fliers." To continue with this idea of kites as living birds, the author claims "if you are lucky enough to see one in flight, you will be amazed at the quick turns, graceful moves, and speedy pursuits of this bird". With this, he/she's comparing a situation which sightseers are very familiar with: the difficulty of seeing the most majestic birds. "Look for them above large fields, especially during the summer" completes this concept by giving you the place where you can find them, because he/she knows they are graceful and you should not miss them.
Finally, the author gives us the idea of kites being like birds when he describes them physically and compares them with "common birds" which cannot catch their preys while flying: "Both kites are known to eat while flying, unlike most other birds of prey. This practice conserves energy and allows them to hunt almost continuously".
