Marriage Maintenance

We give MARRIAGE MATTERS priority because MARRIAGE MATTERS. We oversee "Marriage Maintenance" Ministry which is located in York, PA. Les and Leslie Parrott.

We are Bill and Jennifer Craft and our goal as a married couple is to purposefully give "marriage matters" priority because marriage matters! We are affiliate staff with Family Life, based in Orlando, Florida. (see https://www.familylife.com/ )

We have been married 27 years, attending marriage events for the last 17 years, overseeing marriage small groups, leading pre-marital sessions, hosting m

arriage events, date nights and giving pastoral relationship/marriage coaching, all to carry out the purpose of MARRIAGE MAINTENANCE. We are ordained pastors through Keystone Bible Institute and Christian Leadership University. We have had the privilege of receiving training and our pastoral certificate for MARRIAGE ON THE ROCK with Pastor Jimmy Evans from Marriage Today Ministry in Texas. We are also certificated SYMBIS (Save Your Marriage Before It Starts) Facilitators and MARRIAGE MENTORS with Drs. Getting married is the easy part...staying married is purposeful. Connect with us on Facebook where we offer a variety of resources to stay connected as a married couple. We don't just want an "o.k" marriage...we want a marriage that is Heaven on Earth as God intended it to be.

Happy Easter…He is Risen🙌🏻

04/03/2026

Remembering today…the price Jesus paid, the sacrifice He gave for ALL manner of sin, ALL manner of sickness and ALL manner of poverty.

Jesus, the fully righteous One, became ALL that was unrighteous, so that I, who was fully unrighteous, could become fully righteous in Christ.

ALL glory to God🙌🏻

When Jesus is the foundation of MARRIAGE a husband and wife:

1. Ask…what does God say in Word about our situation? The goal isn’t getting onE’s own way. A couple seeks God’s way together.

2. Pray…which invites Holy Spirit into their midst. A couple submitted to Jesus knows they can’t do marriage without Him and invite His presence daily into their life.

3. Read the Bible…seeking discernment, clarity and direction in God’s Word in order to identify what is true and what is not with regard to God’s plan for their marriage a d family.

4. Worship Together…choosing to glorify God with praise and Thanksgiving. This positions a husband and wife humbly before God saying, we trust you Lord, we honor you Lord and we choose your ways over our own.

Marriage was NEVER meant to be husband and wife alone….God created it to be a 3 cord strand: God/Husband/Wife.

“Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.” Genesis‬ ‭2‬:‭24‬-‭25‬ ‭ESV‬‬

What is God’s Perspective System…His GPS for our lives?

He has several ways He helps us see life through HIS PERSPECTIVE, providing direction and course correction in order for us to navigate this life In Christ.

We were never meant to journey this life apart from Him.

He is the ultimate navigating system and His plans are ALWAYS good for us. Jeremiah 29:11.

GOD’s GPS:

👉 THE BIBLE:
Psalm 119:105
Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.

‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬-‭17‬ ‭TPT‬‬
God has transmitted his very substance into every Scripture, for it is God-breathed. It will empower you by its instruction and correction, giving you the strength to take the right direction and lead you deeper into the path of godliness. Then you will be God’s servant, fully mature and perfectly prepared to fulfill any assignment God gives you.

👉THE HOLY SPIRIT:
John 16:13
When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own but will tell you what he has heard. He will tell you about the future.

John 14:26 AMPC
But the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My name [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will teach you all things. And He will cause you to recall (will remind you of, bring to your remembrance) everything I have told you.
‭‭
👉FAITH:
Proverbs 3:5
Trust in the LORD with all your heart….And do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight

John 14:16
Jesus answered, I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Faith Friday

What we focus on becomes bigger in us.

As believers in Jesus, let’s practice abiding in God’s presence through worship, prayer, reading the Word and meditating on God’s Word…turning our attention to Him.

As we do, His presence around us will become bigger than our circumstances.

Let’s turn our attention to His presence INSIDE us.

Jesus lives in us as believers through Holy Spirit.

The power of God is always working and His healing power is there for us to use, by faith in Jesus, to resist any attack, temptation or sickness that tries so come our way.

Begin meditating on the Word of God and what He says about a worry free, peaceful mind. Here are some scriptures to begin reading. Ask the Lord to show you what He wants to tell you through His Word and write it down. Meditate on the Word…meaning think about it, especially when worry, fear or anxiety try to overtake your thought life.

🙏”For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”
‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭1‬:‭7‬ ‭KJV‬‬

🙏”You will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind [both its inclination and its character] is stayed on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You, and hopes confidently in You.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭26‬:‭3‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

🙏””I [Jesus]have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.””
‭‭John‬ ‭16‬:‭33‬ ‭NIV‬‬

🙏”Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭4‬-‭8‬ ‭ESV‬‬
