God's culture provides protection around God's people, over God's people, and among God's people. In Nehemiah 7 we discover that there are guards placed around the wall of the city, at the gates to defend from outside attack, and even people assigned to stand guard at their own homes. Who do we have guarding our own homes today? Who within the church is looking out for us and our best interests, and who are we looking out for? God's culture accounts for every one of His people. No one is overlooked, and no one need fall through the cracks. We were never called to be merely casual friends of the family, but well-rooted, full participants together. This is God's heart for His church.
