Drink into yourself and the teaching... (1 Tim. 4:16) Conversations on the apostolic messages. Melchizedek (Artyukhin), Archimandrite

Archimandrite Melchizedek-rector of the temple of the Apostles of Peter and Paul in Yasenev (the farm of Optina Desert in Moscow) and the Church of the Protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Yasenev, a well-known preacher, spokeswoman for the synodal department for monasteries and monasticism, the author of many books and Orthodox programs on Television and radio stations "Radonezh".

The book of Father Melchizedek from the cycle of spiritual and educational conversations is dedicated to the apostolic messages-very important and at the same time very difficult to perceive part of the New Testament. Christ himself the Savior himself chose the holy apostles and sent to the preaching of the Gospel and the creation of the Church of Christ, for which he endowed them with fertile forces, special talents and powers. Therefore, the edification and teachings contained in messages are most directly related to us, today's Orthodox Christians. This is what Archimandrite Melchizedek convincingly shows readers in his inherent living and figurative manner of presentation, with vivid examples from his spiritual experience and priestly ministry. Undoubtedly, this will help our contemporaries better understand the deep theological content of the God -bearing creations of the Holy Apostles and apply their instructions in their lives.
