THE DAYSTAR SCANDAL: FALSE TEACHERS WILL REAP GOD'S JUDGEMENT!

Daystar is right up there with TBN as the second biggest apostate TV "ministry" in the world. Daystar was launched in 1997 by Marcus and Joni Lamb. Since then Daystar has given a platform to numerous false Word-Faith/NAR teachers including Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland, Jesse Duplantis, Joyce Meyer, Paula White, Mike Murdoch, Robert Morris, Rod Parsley, etc. 

The vicious and very public battle between Daystar and Joni Lamb's son Jonathan and daughter-in-law Suzy is reaching epic proportions. I will not repeat the accusations about their daughter's alleged sex abuse cover-up here - I have provided a link to the Roys Report which gives all the disturbing details.  

Understandably, much sympathy is being generated towards Jonathan and Suzy Lamb. However, no one is mentioning the elephant in the room. Prior to this horrible situation, Jonathan and Suzy reaped considerable benefits from Daystar's illegitimate ministry in their high-profile roles. Jonathan was the heir apparent, briefly becoming Vice President following his father's death until he was demoted and ultimately fired on November 16th, 2024. Doesn't their heavy involvement in, and leadership of, this aberrant form of Christianity raise concerns about their beliefs? Nothing is being said about this by those supporting the couple, but it is important. Do Jonathan and Suzy understand the theological compromise of Daystar, and have they repented? The core of the false Word-Faith prosperity "gospel" is selfishness and self-preservation. Orthodoxy defines orthopraxy. In other words, what we believe determines what we practice. It is hardly surprising that Joni Lamb and her cohorts have acted in ways that reflect their distorted theology.    

Paul instructed Timothy: Keep a close watch on yourself (your life) and on the teaching. Persist in this, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers. (1 Timothy 4:16 cf. Titus 3:8). 

Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth. But avoid irreverent babble, for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness, and their talk will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, who have swerved from the truth, saying that the resurrection has already happened. They are upsetting the faith of some. But God’s firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of the Lord depart from iniquity.” (2 Timothy 2:15-19).

Daystar and Joni Lamb's financial abuses 

The unholy antics of the Daystar dynasty are too numerous to mention, but two recent examples are noteworthy. 

*The Christian Post: "Since October 2022, Daystar Television Network’s ministry jet has made 24 round-trip flights from Fort Worth to Colorado Springs and 13 round-trip flights from Fort Worth to Destin at an estimated cost of $769,220.
The purpose of the Colorado Springs flights were a mystery until Daystar President Joni Lamb announced her engagement to Colorado Springs psychologist and author Doug Weiss in March 2023.
The following screenshot shows Daystar’s jet flying to Colorado Springs and returning to Texas two days after Lamb’s surprise engagement announcement. Is it appropriate for a church leader to use the ministry jet to visit a fiancĂ©?  
If the couple used commercial aircraft rather than the ministry jet for personal flights, they could have saved more than $700,000 on travel expenses.."1
 

*Candy Chand recently reported in an article on X that Joni Lamb billed the Daystar ministry $100,000 for her honeymoon!

Susan Puzio of Prophetic News Radio has made some very insightful comments about this disgusting abuse. Puzio: "You sacrifice, they party on your money!"

@candychand11

Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter. (Isaiah 56:11).


Puzio: "If you could lie on Jesus you can lie on anybody, and that's what's been happening at Daystar for years. You could buy a blessing, you could buy household salvation, you could buy miracles to get your children off drugs, you could buy healings, you could buy prosperity, 'Just give $1000 here, sow a seed and watch what God will do'."2

Now I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who create divisions and obstacles that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Turn away from them. For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive. (Romans 16:17-18).
