Name it and date it....

The following verse was the feature verse for a daily devotional in a devotional magazine entitled, “Fire from the Bramble":

Judges 9:49 So every one of the people cut down his bundle and following Abimelech put it against the stronghold, and they set the stronghold on fire over them, so that all the people of the Tower of Shechem also died, about 1,000 men and women.

The devotional said in part…… The tower of Shechem must have been a massive structure to hold a thousand people……. By contrast, “The name of the LORD is a strong tower”

Can anyone name the title of the devotional magazine and the date the above verse was the devotional of the day?

Don,
Thanks. I'll give the answers in a day or so. Maybe some more will take a stab at it.

"Grace Evangelical Society Magazine" and the building pictured is John MacArthur's Grace Community Church.

Mark,
I must apologize for the building. Since I use my own photos, it was the best I could do. I don't know the building name, but it is in Vancouver, Canada and is meant to illustrate a tower that holds people.

Drum roll please....
Don nailed the date, but missed the magazine as did Mark.

The devotional appeared in Tabletalk Magazine published by Ligionier Ministries (R.C. Sproul) on September 11, 2001. It was quite remarkable to read the entire text of that devotional on the very morning of 9-11. The parallels are striking.
