Comfortable Churches

What do you think about this quote?

"It is quite common for people to say they are looking for a church they are comfortable with. I think that is a scandalous statement. When were churches supposed to be comfortable places? There is too much need in the world for Christians to be comfortable."--

Ajith Fernando, The Call to Joy and Pain: Embracing Suffering in Your Ministry (Crossway, 2007)

There's an old saying about a preacher's job being to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable. Sound right to me.
