This statement by Don is just extreemly important. The ground of the church....one church in a city...whatever term you want to use....it in itself does not make the church. And we all know that the bible is not about one church in one city.
It's like when we played marbles when we were kids. We drew a circle in the dirt and all put our marbles in the circle and took turns shooting at the marbles. The marbles are in the circle....but the circle itself isn't the game. It's the marbles in the circle.
