YOU, YOUR CHURCH, & SPOUSE
Your church is like your lover or your spouse . Either it fulfills you, inspires you, supports you, affirms you, loves you, helps you, indeed, completes you; or it does not . If not, move on!
Somewhere, there is another one that now exists, that will fill the bill; that will close the deal, be it church or spouse. Ask and it shall be given, seek and you shall find, knock and the door will be opened unto you.
The church is frequently analogized to as the bride of Christ in the Bible. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bride_of_Christ
The point is this. These must be a mutuality, a fitness one for the other. This applies in the material and in the spiritual realms; and in all others.
One's shoes must fit to be comfortable. One's food must be tasty to be consumed. One's home must be secure. So also with one's church or lover or spouse.
You must "choose you this day whom you will serve, whether the God of your fathers before the flood or some other," the central character in this verse, in this pageant, in this ritual, is you! http://biblehub.com/joshua/24-15.htm
To thine own self be true, and as night follows day, one can never be false to another . It all centers on you!

Then again, if you are already in your right fit, praise God, and acquit yourself accordingly!
