What if someone could do a study to determine ROI? What a lot of us praise or complain about Bible Bucks systems are built mainly on subjection. It's not like we have the time or resources to do such a study, but I would assume that the results for most churches who do Bible Bucks would build a case against it... but again that's me being subjective. I do like the sneaky agenda of parental involvement. I'd say that I'd do just about anything to get parents and kids talking about Jesus, and if it had to be a incentive program, then I'd look at doing it. Isn't that the goal. :) Wow, that would be interesting. What if someone could do a study to determine ROI?

Thanks you for verbalizing an unconscious value. I think we should bring parents into the argument. I know part of what we are going to be doing with our reward system is going to involve the parents. BTW the assistant pastor, and media guy spent the weekend a couple of week ago at Lifechurch and were BLOWN AWAY! They loved it. Wish I could have made it. Next time. Gina,
