The Human Denial of Death
Listen now
Description
This Sunday School class was given by J. Pittman McGehee, D.D. on 3/27/1987. The American extroverted and materialistic way of our culture would much rather avoid the reality of death. We value old things but we don’t value older human beings. Life and death are very real and at the same time there is something immortal in us that transcends time and space. He talks about another kind of death we humans struggle with which is giving up our expectations that others live the way we want them to. He then describes two childhood experiences with death that led him ultimately to his calling to fully live his life for something greater than himself.
