Click here for kluchsmallHow do single Christians mix with Christians who have engaged in a monogamous marital relationship? One could argue that personal Bible study practices vary a great deal from one Christian to another. Hence why small group Bible study discussions among believers can benefit individuals as other Christians present findings from their own perspectives. No one Christian can read the Bible cover to cover in the same way. One could also point out that depending on which stage of life they have entered, Christians may glean more from certain passages than others. Teens and young adults may find more to grasp from 1 Timothy 4:12 than Christians who are a bit more mature in years. New mothers would tend to gravitate more toward passages that talk about motherhood than female Christians who do not have children. With that in mind, we may find those in our walk of life inclining to read more passages and subjects which they feel apply to them the most. Furthermore, these preferences may lend their way toward similar practices. So whether you want to explore a different way to do your Bible study with a group of single Christians, or if your single Christians Bible study group needs some sense of direction, consider the following tips: Photo Credit: unsplash/AlexBlajan. Have at least one mature member of the faith in or leading the group. Christians need mentors who have had similar life experiences, so they can guide believers through the beginning stages of that season. Barnabas mentored Paul. Paul mentored Timothy (2 Timothy 2:2). Titus 2:3 talks about older women serving in a mentorship role “teaching what is good.†Granted, this member may not be single. Perhaps they went through a long season of singlehood and God, years later, presented a man or woman whom they would commit to in a lifelong marriage. Also, maturity does not necessarily mean age. A born-again believer who has walked with the Lord for twenty years and is twenty-five years old may be a bit more mature in the faith than a 36-year-old who just professed Jesus as their Savior and Lord. In your own Bible study group, you may fit into either the mentorship role or the mentee. However, many Christians may balk at the former, claiming they do not have enough expertise. In such circumstances, kindly remind them (or yourself) about the power of the Holy Spirit, who has worked through the most unlikely people in the Bible to change lives.

Often, Bible study groups will encourage members to pair off and keep each other accountable about daily Scripture readings, ask how to pray for one another, and provide encouragement. In a single Christian group, one may face the temptation to pair off with someone of the opposite
, especially if one feels as though God has called the two of them into a commitment that extends beyond friendship. Having an accountability partner who will not tempt a believer in a romantic sense will save Christians from a great deal of hurt in their walk. If, for instance, the accountability partner and that believer get into a more committed relationship and break it off, they might associate Scripture readings with the bad experiences of that relationship, and that may jade them from staying consistent in their reading.

Although some single Christians do slide to the younger ages on the spectrum, churches can often forget about single parents, divorced singles, widowed singles (1 Corinthians 7:
, and Christian singles above the age of thirty.
