In 1899 there were two diametrically-opposed approaches to solving the mystery of flight. The most common and popular view involved the absence of wind—it was believed that a total calm was necessary for flight. And the second involved embracing the wind—believing a gust of wind to be a benefit and not a hindrance to flight. Interestingly enough, these same two approaches exist today in Christianity. The most common and popular view today is that suffering, challenge, difficulty, and inconvenience must be avoided at all cost for an effective Christian life to be lived. And, course, there is the opposite view (which just happens to be the Biblical view) and that is that suffering, challenge, difficulty, and inconvenience—when embraced with joy—lead to the great triumph of Truth in this world. The Wright Brothers chose to bull ride the wind, and they changed history because of it.
