Over the years I believed in formalized religions, I have since abjured those beliefs over the years preferring a more spiritualistic lifestyle.
Not sure exactly what type of sentence subject you wanted a sentence for, so I made up this one. Let me know what you think.

1. He abjured that he did not cheat, even though he did use Yahoo Answers to have others do his homework for him. 2. He looked blanched because he was afraid the teacher might suspect that he did not do his own homework. 3. (You got this word wrong, by the way--it is brandish, not blandish. Plus, it is a verb, not a noun.) He brandished the paper as if it was a sword, daring the student to take it. 4. He lifted his chalice to drink a toast. 5. We chastised the student for not wanting to make up his own sentences.

If you abjure something such as a belief or way of life, you state publicly that you will give it up.
Example : Later in his life Mandela abjured his nonviolence stance.

Organized religion is a sham but a great business plan. I was raised catholic and now I realize they're the biggest corporation in the world. I hereby abjure my faith in churches but I still believe in God!

It's a bit more than just "to renounce". Strictly, it means to renounce very formally - perhaps on oath. The "....jure" bit comes from Latin jus/juris, meaning law. So, the sample sentences given above are very good - some of them relate to religion, but at one time religion and law were really one and the same thing. "I abjure alcohol" might be overstating it a bit, unless you are Muslim.
