A quote attributed to Dianne Renninger
I am researching my 6th gr grandfather, John of Bucks County Landis, and came upon the following:
came to America 1717; the stone house he built on California Rd. is still standing 2 miles north of Quakertown; his house has only one door...the only answer that they found as to why only 1 door in the Landis Homestead at Quakertown, Pa. is that per Billy Graham, In ancient times the door was a thing of great importance. Houses had only one entrance. When Christ said " I am the Door" the people understood the exclusiveness of His claim. This on the door was the only legitimate entrance to the house. Anyone who tried to get in by some other means showed that he was a thief and did not have honest motives. When Jesus said, "Behold I stand at the door and knock," He demonstrated that He was not only at the legitimate place of entrance but He was endeavoring to gain admission in the legitimate way.

I am very interested in knowing more about what gave rise to this statement and finding any more information that may be available.
