Guest on "Eternal Matters" issues on-air call to accept Christianity, leads listeners in prayer
Summary
On an hour-long edition of the show Eternal Matters, guest Emmett Rabidog and host Steve Findley urged viewers to confess sins and accept Jesus, closed the program with a prayer, and discussed the Ten Commandments and Catholic devotion.
Emmett Rabidog, host of "The Awful Truth About Society," urged viewers on the Eternal Matters broadcast to “get right with God” and led a series of on-air prayers asking listeners to accept Jesus as their personal savior.
Rabidog made the appeal near the end of the program and said, “If you died this minute…where would you go?” He and host Steve Findley closed the show by asking anyone watching to confess sins, forsake them and pray the prayer Rabidog offered.
The segment combined a theological argument and a direct invitation. Rabidog described salvation in traditional Christian terms, saying, “Jesus Christ is God in the flesh, born of a virgin, 2,000 years ago to save you,” and argued that only faith in Christ opens the gates of heaven. He told viewers, “Confess and forsake your sins and trust in him.”
Findley, identified on the broadcast as the host of Eternal Matters, joined Rabidog in prayer and encouraged viewers who were uncertain of their salvation to “get on your knees” and use their own words if necessary. The program ran an hour; the hosts noted they were near the 58-minute mark when they began the closing prayer.
The interview also included a discussion of the Ten Commandments. Rabidog described the commandments as “the basic laws by which any good society…would be ordered,” and used them as a framework for his evangelistic conversation with Findley earlier in the show.
No formal organization action resulted from the broadcast; the segment was an on-air religious appeal and pastoral instruction directed at viewers. The hosts framed the closing prayer and the invitation as personal spiritual counsel rather than as a civic or organizational directive.
The program repeatedly emphasized personal religious conviction and individual action: “If anybody’s watching this, get right with God,” Rabidog said. The show ended with a joint prayer and an exhortation that viewers pray “before you go to bed” if they did not pray during the broadcast.
