And, if you give Him entrance to that very ordinary heart of yours, it too He will transform and sanctify and touch with a splendour of glory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The lintel low enough to keep out pomp and pride; The threshold high enough to turn deceit aside;  The ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19869]]></link><description><![CDATA[The lintel low enough to keep out pomp and pride; The threshold high enough to turn deceit aside;  The doorband strong enough from robbers to defend;   This door will open at a touch to welcome every friend.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19869</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For many years the Christians met in homes and never possessed any special buildings for their gatherings.
