I've thought that statement to be ironic, but that does make sense.

You cannot tell, beloved, if you have never tasted, how sweet is the peace which are the doctrines of grace will give to the soul; there is none like them...They are God's sweet lullaby, wherewith he singeth his children to sleep, even in storms. They are God's sheet anchors, which are cast out into the sea, to hold our little vessels fast in the midst of tempests. —Charles Spurgeon (The Form of Sound Words, sermon)
