Matthew 23

We get a higher perspective as the Savior chastises the Scribes and Pharisees -

"Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone."  (Matthew 23:23)

Obviously, the Lord considers ministering is a higher demonstration of faith than basic commandments even though essential.
