It's as if they are too lazy or unable to exposit the text and revert to "christianised terms" such as "the gospel". Some Preachers need to wake up and explain the text to their hearers so they can truly apply it in the way it is inteneded by our Lord. Let's keep this great term for where it does crop up and let it fill out our message of truth.

It does not stop at the point of conversion and justification by faith, but embraces every other aspect of salvation, from sanctification to glorification. The gospel’s significance therefore does not end the moment the new birth occurs; it applies to the entire Christian experience. And when Paul and the other New Testament writers spoke of “preaching the gospel,” they were not talking about preaching only to unbelievers (cf v.15). John MacArthur in Ashamed of the Gospel:
