I know...I was one of them whenever I heard those scriptures spoken. But I wasn't a Christian then either. I learned from the retired pastor who lead me to the Lord...to search the scriptures for myself and pray before reading that the Lord would instruct...and that was before I made a commitment to the Lord....rather when I wanted to know the truth. Best advice I was ever given! For the time would come where the Lord convinced me, thru His word, that the things the Pastor spoke of were indeed true.
My point is right from the very beginning of Christ drawing me to Himself, it was His word that enlightened my understanding, confirmed what was spoken, and eventually lead me to accept His salvation for me. I was blessed greatly to have instructors who always encouraged reading and study of the scriptures. It was never just sitting thru a Sermon...but going home afterward to check to see if the things spoken were indeed true. So it's hard for me to imagine why people don't do that....even Pastors with the best intentions can speak the wrong things.
Awesome! You came to Jesus in just the way he wants us to, through his words of truth. I can’t think of a better reason for them.
