I have been blessed by many wonderful Bible teachers, authors, studies, websites during my life, especially in the last 20 years. I have found some gems that have helped me study the Word and grow closer to God.
Teachers:
John MacArthur Jr. - is the Pastor at Grace Community Church in California. His radio ministry is called Grace to You. He is a great teacher who does not hold back. But preaches truth. He has recently made 40 years of sermons available for free downloading at http://www.gty.org/
This is a resource to take advantage of!
Charles Stanley - is the Pastor at a large Southern Baptist church in Atlanta, Georgia. His ministry radio/writing is called In Touch Ministries. You can hear him for free at http://www.intouch.org/
You can also subscribe to his monthly magazine, In Touch, for free. Dr. Stanley preaches on a very practical level. His counsel is full of wisdom founded in the Word of God. If you get the opportunity to buy a new Bible, get the one with his commentary The Life Principles Bible. It's been a huge blessing to me. The free monthly magazine has a daily devotional in it.
Beth Moore - An energetic, woman after God's own heart, humble and wise. She has written many books and Bible studies. Sometimes you have to turn the volume down a bit, because she speaks very boisterously but give her a chance, focus on what she is saying. Great insight. You can hear her for free at:

Chuck Smith, senior Pastor at Calvary Chapel of Costa Mesa, in California. His resources are available at The Word for Today. You can listen for free here and he is also on Youtube.
