Your suggestion to read the Bible is a good one. A little self-contradictory (what good would it do, if I need a preacher to tell me what to believe?), but good.
BTW, just for the record, I do have a preacher in my life. Must not be a very good one, though. He doesn't say anything about most of the items on the list I gave above. I guess my blood will be on his hands!

EVERY instance of EVERY conversion in the NT was a result of a preacher preaching.
All the Epistles were written by preachers.
God gave the ministry for the perfecting of the saints so it must be His idea.
Saints are told to submit to the ministry again IF the Word is inspired then it must be God's idea.
"It pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe."
1Cor. 1:21
We hear the gospel by the mouth of a preacher, we are perfected by the mouth of a preacher, a preacher is to present us to Christ so how could this concept be strange to you?
NO one will be saved without a preacher in their lives.
