I used to like Creflo Dollar, but Rick Warren suits me just fine. But, I really don't know anymore. I feel like I should just forget about these guys, and just focus on the word. I also watch The 700 Club with Pat Robertson. He knows how to get the word out.

I like:

Charles Stanley
Max Lucado

For big names...

There are others, but what I appreciate most is the true Christian and kind heart of my own minister who always listens to me and answers my long-winded questions...always. He is so dedicated to his position. I'm blessed and honor him with that.

He searches out the truth for himself and speaks it eloquently.

In AD 400...there was Guigo. A Carthusian monk. I don't know, nor have I read all of his writings, but he has some choice words of wisdom I think about often.

Many leaders...one God. My prayer is that He will forever help me discern the truth according to His word.

OP's list is a good one, I think. I also like RC Sproul -- he is a FANTASTIC teacher -- not just a good preacher, but an excellent teacher. There is a difference, I think, and Sproul nails teaching.

Ravi Zacharias and R.C. Sproul. I'm only vaguely acquainted with many other names, but would like to get to know Moody and others.

I like Chuck Missiler while I may not agree with him on all things that doesn't mean I cannot learn from him.
