Patrolsergeant!
Another great idea!  We'd probably have a ball discussing this topic in front of a church board of directors!

How about collection plates
like slot machines where you have a chance of winning money back?

Well, what of David tossing rocks from his sling at you?
Or Sampson crushing you with his big, muscular arms?  Or, Noah telling you to not even think of getting a seat on the next ark?  Or, having to listen to Paul preach at you until you give!

especially Moses
he could threaten you with plagues, break tablets of stone over your head

even scare you withthe threat, "I'll part you like the Red Sea!", holding his staff up like the Sword of Damocles -- ooops, mixing of metaphors.
