All true Christians are peculiar. Their singular character and their exclusive privileges make them so. The Lord causes them to differ from all others by what He does in them, and by what He does for them. He creates a new heart in them, and they fear Him. He puts His Spirit within them, and makes known to them His mind. Into their soul He infuses life, and into their ear He speaks His secrets. Fearers of God are thus favourites of God; and both as His fearers and as His favourites, they are a peculiar people.
John Kennedy of Dingwall — The Days of the Fathers in Ross-shire, 4th ed. (Toronto & Montreal: James Campbell & Son, 1867), Appendix, "The secret of the Lord is with them that fear Him" (Ps. 25:14), p. 247
