One interesting passage on p. 62-63 details an interaction that the author had with a student named Jay:
'I have a very close walk with God,' Jay boasted.
'What do you mean by that?' I asked.
'Well, when I leave school at noon each day, I ask God where He wants me to go for lunch. I usually hear a thought like Burger King, so I go to Burger King. Then I ask Him what He wants me to eat. If the thought comes to order a Whopper, I order a Whopper.'
'What about your church attendance?' I continued.
'I go every Sunday wherever God tells me to go. And for the last three Sundays, God has told me to go to a Mormon church.'
Jay sincerely wanted to do what God wanted him to do, but he was being deceived. God was not directing him to a Mormon church, and He is too good a nutritionist to suggest Whoppers all the time.
What Jay should have done is take every one of his thoughts captive to the obedience of Christ.
