That Crazy Dutchman
Mark 16:15 And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the good news to the whole creation.”
Whether you realise it or not, God has a call for your life. It’s a very simple, clear compelling call. A call that simply can’t be ignored.
I don’t know if you’ve been able to catch up with these FRESH devotions day-by-day, but this one … this one is number five hundred. That’s right, the five hundredth “episode” of FRESH.
It all began when a crazy, six-foot-seven Dutchman by the name of Gary accosted me, in a nice way, at an annual Christian media conference, back in May 2016.
He said, “Berni, I believe God’s calling you to do a short, daily video devotional.” Hmm. I thought about that for, ooh, half a second, and gave him my considered response: “You’re crazy! That’s absolutely nuts! Do you have any idea what’s involved in that?”
From there, the idea grew to the point where today, countless people watch, listen to, or read this daily FRESH devotion every day around the world. And not just in English – Tamil, Telugu, Polish, Swahili, French … the list goes on. That’s crazy!
But then, you see, God has a call on the life of each one of His people. It’s a very simple, clear, compelling call:
Mark 16:15 And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the good news to the whole creation.”
How that works its way out in your life, is going to be quite different to how it works its way out in mine, because, you have gifts and abilities that I simply will never have.
But however God’s gifted you, wherever He’s planted you in His vineyard, whatever opportunities He’s set before you, make no mistake, this call, is for you:
Go into all the world and proclaim the good news to the whole creation.
That’s God’s Word. Fresh … for you … today.
Blessed by this devotion?
Share it with a friend!

I absolutely love your daily FRESH devotional. It’s that golden nugget of God’s word speaking to me throughout the day. It’s short, but filled with God’s truth and the message that it contains, inspire/ convict me to be the person that God has called me to be. I especially appreciate your conversational approach in each message. I feel as though I’m sitting and having a good cuppa with you, as a friend and brother in the Lord, sharing scripture and practical ways that we can live out our calling as believers in Christ!
