Staying In Is The Real Risk.

SIR – Anna Soubry, the Minister for Small Business, Industry and Enterprise, says the unknown risks of Brexit are to be feared much more than the status quo.
However, I find the prospect of staying in the EU far more terrifying than Brexit. We know that Britain is likely to be a very minor player in a superstate that is doomed to decay.

After Brexit - Buy The Book!

A UKIP member of the European Parliament has written a book about the country's future following Brexit. The 76-page, easy to read book, takes us through step-by-step his idea of what might happen following a vote to leave the European Union on June 23rd.
Jonathan Arnott, MEP for North East England and the Party's spokesman on the EU Budget, became frustrated at the 'IN' campaign's Project Fear and the doom-mongers who suggest that the world's fifth largest economy would be unable to stand on our own two feet as part of a modern 21st-century world. Starting on June 24 2016, he takes us through the next four years on a day-by-day basis - describing how the country can overcome the little bumps on the road to independence, and how the country might change. It's a work of fiction, but it might well prove to be more eerily accurate than any crystal ball.

UKIP Deputy Leader Paul Nuttall MEP, in the Foreword to the book, wrote: "Following in the fine traditions of the ‘What If’ series, this book is an insightful and entertaining read about how Britain can be made great again...have you ever wondered what life would be like for an independent United Kingdom freed from Brussels red tape and interference? Jonathan Arnott presents a compelling case that our destiny should be in our own hands once again."

Commenting on his book, Jonathan Arnott said "The coming referendum is all about fear versus hope. I believe that a post-EU Britain can have a huge future as a global leader, if only our politicians have the confidence to make it happen. It is a work of fiction, but one which is very much based on evidence that there's a better future out there, if only we're prepared to reach out and take it."

The book is priced at just £5 plus delivery. To pre-order your copy of 'The Blueprint: Our Future After Brexit' (expected delivery time for the first copies is 2 weeks) please visit http://tinyurl.com/brexitblueprint

None of us has a true crystal ball, but 'The Blueprint' is my vision of what will happen after Brexit; the political fallout and, more importantly, the future of our nation.
With less than 100 days to go until the referendum, I have written a short book about Britain's path to freedom and prosperity after a vote for Brexit on June 23rd. Day-by-day in a diary format I set out what could happen next after a vote to leave.

In his foreword, UKIP Deputy Leader Paul Nuttall writes: "Following in the fine traditions of the ‘What If’ series, this book is an insightful and entertaining read about how Britain can be made great again...have you ever wondered what life would be like for an independent United Kingdom freed from Brussels red tape and interference? Jonathan Arnott presents a compelling case that our destiny should be in our own hands once again."

It will be available through Amazon and other platforms shortly afterwards. To reserve your copy now, please click on the link below. Alternatively, why not buy a copy for a friend who's undecided about our future post-Brexit?

Ultimately, 'The Blueprint' is my answer to Project Fear. This is Project Hope: hope of a better Britain outside the EU. 
'The Blueprint: Our Future after Brexit' is my latest book - available for pre-order now. I hope that you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
Have you ever heard people say that they've got no idea what Brexit will actually look like? Please help me to get the message across that we have a bright future outside the European Union.
It's a short book, no need to worry about spending weeks reading it. I've written it in a diary style, going through what happens day by day after a vote to leave the European Union on June 23rd.
The book starts from June 24, 2016 and goes through the key dates until mid-2020. Please pre-order your copy today; I hope that you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!

250 Top Businessmen Say 'Quit'.

Continued membership of the European Union would leave Britain with huge economic turmoil, akin to those affecting Greece and Spain, the chairman of JD Wetherspoon said, as he joined 249 other business leaders in openly backing Brexit.
Tim Martin, who founded the pub chain in 1979, said the EU was transferring power away from its member states and handing it to unelected officials in Brussels. As a result, he pointed out, countries like Spain and Greece that are struggling to drag themselves out of an economic downturn had no power over their own budgets and interest rates.
“Democracy has gone hand in hand with the highest level of prosperity for decades and decades and decades,” Martin said in an interview on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme on Saturday morning.
“West Germany was much more successful economically than East Germany; South Korea is more successful than North Korea. North America is the best example, with its democratic constitution; and look at South America, poor people who live in so many of the countries there haven’t had democracy, and which is the most successful country?
“People know this instinctively, people know this. We can have clever debating points, but democracy equals prosperity. If they take it away you are going to get Greece and you will get Spain and you will get the massive economic problems people are now having when democracy is removed from people. That’s the key issue.”
Martin’s comments came as the Vote Leave campaign announced that its business council will be chaired by John Longworth, the former director general of the British Chambers of Commerce.
In a statement, the campaign said that the council will make the case that EU membership is holding back British business. A YouGov poll commissioned by Vote Leave found a third of businesses see the EU as a hindrance.
Other business leaders backing the campaign include Joe Foster, cofounder of Reebok, Michael Geoghegan, former chief executive of HSBC, David Ross, founder of Carphone Warehouse, and the hedge fund manager Crispin Odey.
Matthew Elliott, chief executive of Vote Leave said: “We’re delighted that John Longworth has agreed to chair Vote Leave’s business council. His strong business track record and his courageous decision to share his true beliefs with voters makes him an extremely powerful voice in the EU debate.
“With our growing list of business supporters, Vote Leave will make that case that whilst the EU might be good for big multinationals, for smaller businesses it acts as a job destruction regulatory machine.
“Brussels hinders smaller businesses, particularly those firms who can’t afford to lobby Brussels to curry favour. Jobs, wages and our economy will thrive when we take back control and Vote Leave.”
The Guardian has contacted the Britain Stronger in Europe campaign for a response.

He Is Risen - He Is Risen Indeed!

Resurrection - The Evidence Is Utterly Compelling.


BY JERRY NEWCOMBE , CP OP-ED CONTRIBUTOR
March 26, 2016|10:25 am Dr. Jerry Newcombe is a key archivist of the D. James Kennedy Legacy Library, a spokesman and cohost of Kennedy Classics.
Jerry NewcombeIf Jesus Christ walked out of His tomb after His death, then certainly everything He said about Himself — that He is the Lord, the way, the truth, and the life — would all receive a stamp of approval.
Why should we listen to Jesus? Because He was dead, and then He was alive. He showed Himself to be alive by "many infallible proofs" according to Luke the physician, in part two of his New Testament writings — what we call the Acts of the Apostles.
A few weeks ago I got to see the movie, "God's Not Dead 2," which I enjoyed very much. Even a loved one with a skeptical bent enjoyed the movie. It comes out April 1. I recommend it highly.
In the movie there are some cameos from leading Christian apologists, such as Lee Strobel, a former atheist and Chicago Tribune investigative writer, and Dr. Gary Habermas.
Habermas is a leading scholar on the resurrection of Jesus Christ. At Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary, he is a Distinguished Research Professor and the Chair of the Department of Philosophy. He has studied the resurrection for decades now and has written or co-written 21 books specifically on the topic.
In fact, Habermas had a period of doubt for about ten years. But the more he studied the historical resurrection of Jesus, the more convinced he became that Jesus indeed rose from the dead.
One thing is for sure, the Apostle Paul, who staked his life on the resurrection of Jesus, argued that if Christ did not rise from the dead, our faith is in vain and we are to be pitied more than all men. But Christ did rise from the dead, and therefore everything else falls into place.
Habermas takes an approach to the resurrection called the "minimal facts." He wants to see where scholars — even liberal ones — agree on certain basic facts that apply to this issue. It's like Sergeant Friday from Dragnet, "Just the facts, Ma'am. Just the facts."
But what about skeptical scholars? Habermas has two rules for assigning something as a "minimal fact."
In a recent radio interview, he told me: "The two rules for minimal facts are
 1. I will use not one bit of data which is not attested from several sources. I have several strong reasons to accept these as facts.
2. Because that evidence is so good, that's why the vast majority of critical scholars get on board with these minimal facts and allow them." 
He estimates that the following facts about the resurrection of Jesus would be verified by 90% of the skeptical Jesus scholars. I would add that they would be accepted by virtually 100% of the conservative ones. 
Here are the following minimal facts that the majority of scholars, including skeptics, agree to:
1. Jesus was crucified by the Romans. Habermas said that this is "not an evidence for the resurrection, but it's a pre-requisite."
2. The disciples had experiences that believed were appearances of the risen Christ.
3. Because of their insistence that they saw Him risen from the dead, they totally changed in disposition from being afraid to being bold and unstoppable. They proclaimed, not just any message, they proclaimed the resurrection message and were persecuted for their proclamation. Habermas notes, "A number of them died for their faith. They were totally transformed and willing to die for their faith."
4. This proclamation of the resurrection was there at the very beginning of the Christian movement — it was not some later add-on.
5. One of the earliest to believe in the risen Jesus was the formerly skeptical James, the brother of Jesus.
6. Another skeptic changed by claiming he saw the risen Christ was the Apostle Paul, formerly Saul of Tarsus, the anti-Christian persecutor. 
Again, these six facts are generally agreed upon by scholars of early Christianity, both friendly and hostile scholars to the faith. 
From these, we see a clear pattern. Jesus died on the cross. Then His disciples, who were scared for their lives, suddenly changed into bold witnesses for the risen Christ. Nobody dies for something they know is a lie. 
Habermas adds there are other widely accepted facts accepted by many scholars as well, such as:
1. The tomb was empty beginning Sunday morning.
2. The proclamation of the resurrection began in Jerusalem, which the disciples would not have dared to pursue if it could easily be disproven by procuring His body from the tomb. (This provides much of the tension in another movie I recommend, Risen).
3.These strict observers of the Sabbath began to worship Jesus on Sunday, since He arose on Sunday. 
What is the best explanation for all these facts? He is risen. He is risen indeed. No wonder the world was changed by the events that began on the first Easter morning.

The average UK citizen could be $30,000 (£21,000) better off by 2020 than they are today if Britain voted to leave the EU, research by New World Wealth (NWW) has claimed. 
In a note out today, the wealth intelligence group estimates that the average wealth per person would rise from $147,000 to $180,000 by 2020 if a Brexit went ahead. However, its expects this figure to drop to around $140,000 if Britain decided to stay.

Pilate Was 'Morally Weak'.

Christians can learn a lesson from the story of Jesus' crucifixion and the role of Pontius Pilate, the Rev. Billy Graham said in a recent post.
Graham, 97, said in a post for the Kansas City Star that Christians must be aware of the pressures felt by Pontius Pilate when he chose to crucify Jesus.
The evangelical leader explains that although Pilate personally thought Jesus was innocent, he gave into cultural pressure and ultimately turned Christ over to the soldiers to be crucified.
When answering the question of why Pilate made this decision, Graham says that "the only logical answer is that Pilate was a morally weak person, and instead of standing for the truth, he was concerned about only himself and his future."
