Just a word on the use of "overused" words. If it overused to be trendy than God himself should kill it. If it is overused because it effectively conveys the gospel then by all means use.
It may be overused because it is such a powerful word. Think of the word Christian. It is overused all the time. Politicians use it to win elections. Wolves use it to get in to destroy flocks. Satan uses it in his churches to confuse the world about the gospel.
Yet the early Church our standard and bulwark for the faith used it quite often. Indeed I look forward to the day we no longer have to use Presbyterian, Baptist, or whatever label to distinguish our differences (and some of them are very important!) because when someone says Christian that they think of the true holy united catholic Christian Church. My guess by the way is that the theology will be what we now call Reformed.
