I have to disagree with the song having a strong basis on or about Christianity. (No offense of course)
I believe that verse just to be a generality. Something in which people can know of, and hold reference to.
I personally feel this song is about living, and the choices there in. The fact that we have limitless options before us. We all have a vast array of options in this life, without the "definite" answer.
There are many of these which attempt to influence us in one direction or another, when truly others are just as well in the dark as ourselves. It seems he also expresses the curiosity in possibilities, and the ease of getting lost when you essentially have so many paths before you.
In the end though, he expresses the "Stick in the mud" symbolism. Implying maybe that he has security in his own position.
All in all I feel this song is about making your decisions in life and sticking to them; while not forgetting that your own path is not the only one. To not follow sway to whispers of others, but to go where your heart leads you.

To find your own truths, for yourself.
