It’s more what the pastor did not teach and did not say, than what he said.
“Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.” (James 4:17)
Later, and I thank God for it, I attended a Church in which the Pastor, and the Sunday school teachers taught to us memorize the Holy Scriptures, and we memorized the Books of the Bible.
Here are a few of the verses I still remember:
“Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed thereto according to Thy word. With my whole heart have I sought Thee: O let me not wander from Thy command- ments. Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might sin against Thee.” (Psalm 119:9-11)
“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.” (Proverbs 3:5-6)
“There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” (Proverbs 14:12&16:25)
“For whosoever shall call upon the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13)
“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” (Romans 10:17)
“Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever.” (1 Peter 1:23)
