There are alot of churches out there that are just like a decoy
spread
They
have the physical representation of a flock but there is no life there! Maybe
they are just like a motion spinning wing decoy the have a lot of simulated
life but lacks that something your spirit is looking for, and for that reason
you have stop going to church.
Maybe you
had been in a decoy church and observed the actions of imperfect people that
like decoys had the outward appearance of a Christian but didn’t have the
spirit of Christ in them, making them not Christians at all! Because of that
they failed you, hurt you, let you down in some way & you stop going to
church.

The Greatest Gift of all
Inside each one
of us is a God-shaped vacuum that we try to fill with the things of this world.
For example: wine, riches, drugs , job , fame ,the right mate, sexual
preference , hobbies , material things...anything we use for comfort , pleasure
or to give you purpose in life , which these things can never do. That vacuum
is the need for true peace that can only come from knowing God, and knowing He
has forgiven you of all your sin. The
word Sin, derived from an old archery term means "to miss the mark".

Many sportsmen have spent a lot of time pursuing waterfowl along the migration routes they take from Canada were they are born to Mexico were they end up . Life is in a lot of ways like the great migration of ducks and geese & down life's flyway there are many decoy spreads that look and sound like truth, and only when you land in them and take refuge in them do they become a snare for your soul ! and they like the decoys, looking like the real thing on the outside & inside they are hollow with no life in them.
There are the decoy spreads of New age theology, Buddhism, Islam, Freemasonry, Mormonism, Hinduism,Yoga, Jehovah's witness, Indian mystesescism, Wicca along with a host of others some even with a veneer of Christianity like man made denominations directing you to works, lulling you into a false sense of security that you are somehow in right standing with God , living under the banner of ""I go to church , I believe in God, I'm a good person" instead of being born of Gods spirit, only to bypass intimacy & a relationship with Christ! To know God! Being born of him!

Romans 6:1-16 What should we say then? Should we continue in sin in order
that grace may multiply?
Absolutely not!
How can we who died to sin still live in it? 3. Or are you unaware that all of
us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4.
Therefore we were buried with him by baptism (baptism should be a conscious
decision as an adult) into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from
the dead by the glory of the father, so we too may walk in a new way of life.

Likewise the spirit also helpeth our infirmities : for we know not
what we should pray for as we ought : but the Spirit itself
maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27.And
he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is in the mind of the Spirit, // because he maketh intercession for the saints, according to the will of God.
Romans 8:26,27

and operate in the thing’s of God using your former strengths. It just doesn’t work that way.

 When we come to God seeking the truth about anything or any
topic we must be childlike in our approach.
This is especially true if you want to know if Jesus is real
or not. Because if you come to God with
a prideful chip on your shoulder he will not reveal himself to you or at least
you will extremely limit yourself in your ability to receive from the Lord.
