But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:6-8).

CHRISTIAN STANDARD AT 140: 140 Years of Leadership

By Henry E. Webb Seven score years ago (to borrow Abraham Lincoln”s reckoning) CHRISTIAN STANDARD was launched in Cleveland, Ohio. It was at a time when the nation was facing a critical period of transition. The terrible Civil War had just ended. The South was defeated, demoralized, and impoverished.
