If you're saturated in the Word and hear great preaching and enjoy great Godly fellowship, that statement sounds out of place.
But I suppose also, if you are in the middle of a spiritual desert (personally) or the midst of a people who are in a spiritual desert or just devoid of Christ, that quote might have more meaning.
The "Christian" that the world is used to being exposed to is indeed in need of revision. When a worldly person thinks about what a Christian is, they think of somebody just like them, but goes to church sometimes. Obviously, not true Christianity.
Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven,whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no [does not impute] iniquity,and in whose spirit there is no deceit.

I guess it depends what you've been exposed to.
