Scripture Writing Plans for the Whole Year — Beginning in January
What Is the Purpose of Scripture Writing?
Spending just ten minutes each day writing and meditating on Scripture can help you retain both the passage and its meaning.
Scripture writing is a simple yet powerful practice that deepens your understanding of God’s Word and strengthens your spiritual walk. The January Scripture Writing Plan focuses on the theme of New Beginnings, reminding us that God truly is the God of new beginnings.
Special thanks to Corey Schissler for introducing me to scripture writing.
F.Y.I. For those interested in using a special journal for daily scripture writing, Amazon offers a variety of options, including hardbound, spiral-bound, and paperback journals specifically designed for scripture journaling.
Bible Words and Theological Terms Made Easy

ABOMINATION
What Is the Biblical Definition of Abomination?
The English Bible uses the word “abomination” to reflect about a dozen terms in the original languages of both Testaments. The prevailing idea behind the words is a divine revulsion at transgressions about religious and moral matters. The words are employed in different senses and sometimes reflect degrees of displeasure.
• Idols and the worship thereof was an abomination unto God (Isa. 66:3; Jer. 4:1; 2 Kgs. 16:3).
• Worship offered to God when done with the wrong spirit is also abominable (Prov. 15:8; Isa. 1:13).
• Sexual sins, e.g., homosexuality, are an abomination before God (Lev. 18:22).
• Dishonorable treatment of one’s fellows was characterized similarly (Prov. 12:22; 20:23).
Note carefully the list of abominations cataloged in Proverbs 6:16ff. Those who yield themselves to the practice of abominable actions will not be permitted into heaven (Rev. 21:27).

ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION
What Is the Abomination of Desolation in the Bible?
This phrase has roots in the Old Testament. The book of Daniel alludes to “the abomination that makes desolate” (cf. 9:27, 11:31, 12:11).
It is generally believed that 11:31 is a reference to the abominable (evil) power that desolated the Jewish system during that historical period between the Testaments, particularly the reign of the Seleucid ruler, Antiochus Epiphanes (c. 175–63 B.C.). That heathen official viciously persecuted the Jews, attempted to destroy the Scriptures, and desecrated the temple.
Clearly, though, the reference in Daniel 9:27 is to the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70, when the idolatrous Romans crushed the Jewish regime, and Judaism, as a religious system, came to an end — and that by divine design (Mt. 22:7). This is the interpretation given the passage by the Lord himself (Mt. 24:15; Mk. 13:14; Lk. 21:20).
The significance of the expression in Daniel 12:11 is more difficult to determine. Some see it as a description of Antiochus’ persecution, while others view it as a reference to the destruction of Jerusalem and the end of the Jewish sacrificial system. It may be that Antiochus’ onslaught prefigured the desolation that the Romans would ultimately bring.
The idea that it refers to a terrorizing “Antichrist” who will wreak havoc upon the people of God near the end of time, preceding an earthly reign of Christ, is without scriptural justification.
