A pastor friend of mine is watching the videos I shot for Officers Christian Fellowship, and he had a very insightful comment on Video #4 in which I talk about Indifference, defined by Ignatius of Loyola as:

Being detached enough from things, people, or experiences to be able either to take them up or to leave them aside, depending on whether they help us to “to praise, reverence, and serve God” (Spiritual Exercises 23). 

I always cite Philippians 4.11 – 13 as Paul practicing indifference. Chip referred me to 1 Corinthians 7.29 – 31, which could also be taken as recommending “Holy Indifference:”

This is what I mean, brothers: the appointed time has grown very short. From now on, let those who have wives live as though they had none, and those who mourn as though they were not mourning, and those who rejoice as though they were not rejoicing, and those who buy as though they had no goods, and those who deal with the world as though they had no dealings with it. For the present form of this world is passing away. (1 Corinthians 7.29 – 31, ESV)

P.S. The videos will be posted for a while, I’m assuming. HOWEVER, there is a one-time, live Q&A session Tuesday, July 21, beginning at 7p, MDT. You can click the link to sign up for it. I’d love to see you then!
