How much is your soul worth (on ebay)?

So, how much is your soul worth on e-bay? What's your spiritual price tag?

Like if there were a spiritual e-bay and your soul was up for auction, how much would it go for?

I know that’s a weird question but truth is, everyone of us as a price tag. We've all got things that we would sell out to or in the very least be really tempted to sell out to. 


Let me give you one of mine in hopes that it'll free you up to be honest about yours. 

Fame. 

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about 'crazy celebrity Jersey Shore' type fame. Not at all.

Nothing about that kind of fame appeals to me. I’m talking about 'wanting to hug the glory of the Kingdom' kind of fame. 

I'm talking about this thing in me that wants to be championed while I play the role God has for me in his story. 

Yes I desperately want my life to be spent for the glory of God. I can sincerely say I want to go out on a blaze of his glory. For his fame. To make him known.

But I also know that deep in my heart looms a temptation to be spent for my glory. To make much of myself and my name. To make me known.

So there you have it. That's my price tag. 

If I'm gonna sell out to something, it's gonna be fame. If I'm gonna wreck my life and disqualify myself from ministry, it's gonna be because I drank too much of my kool-aid in pursuit of fame. 


For some of you, your price tag is relationships cause you would probably literally do anything to have someone right now. 

For others its comfort and safety. You'll go along with the Jesus thing as long as your safety and comfort is guaranteed. 

I think the American dream is another big one for a lot of us. Yes I'm down with Jesus as long as he shows me the money. 

What about sex? Alcohol? Greed? Laziness? The list goes on and on. 

What is on your soul's price tag? If you're gonna sell out to something, what will it be? 

"No way Sammy. I'm not gonna sell out on Jesus". I know. I believe you. But I wish it were that easy. 

You see, it's not like your soul is hanging for a one price purchase at the mall. It's more like a spiritual e-bay. The bidding process is slow. 

The enemy is not trying to buy you out in one click. No. He's patiently making small deposits over a long period of time and unless you identify your 'price-tag' and engage it, you might wake up some day only to find out that you're living for someone or something else. 

Personally for me, it means what I need to watch out for is not only how I respond to fame on a big platform but rather how I respond now. 

I also need to embrace and consistently soak in what Jesus said: 

What would it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul? 

Fame is fun but it ain't worth my soul. I need to remember that everyday. On every platform. Jesus is the only one worth living and dying for. 

So I just hung my dirty laundry on the clothes line. Anyone else wanna join me? 

What's your price tag? If you're gonna be tempted to sell out to something, what will it be?
