“…All of us as human beings have fallen short…The church is made up of fallen people. The pure, clean water of spiritual truth is placed in rusty containers, and the subsequent failing of the church down through the centuries should not be projected onto the faith itself, as if the water had been the problem. It is no wonder that those who assess the truth and appeal of spiritual faith by the behavior of any particular church often find it impossible to imagine themselves joining up.”
-Francis Collins The Language of God: A Scientist Presents Evidence for Belief
I don't want to be a rusty container that spoils Jesus. Makes me think how am I doing that and how I can not be rusty.

2 Corinthians 4:7
"But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us."
Some how God miraculously uses our rusty brokenness to the glory of His name. Praise praise praise him for that!
