Well, this was not in one on one conversation (although I am sure he would say it then too, but I don't know what the follow up would be).
It was from the pulpit, and he would go on to explain that his job was to get you out of your comfort zone and your complacency and into taking a good hard look at things. He was a big proponent of "if you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always got" and I think he felt that taking offence showed you where you were stuck.
